Residents who would like to add one or more red maple or eastern redbud trees to their yards this spring can do so while helping the Livingston High School Key Club promote sustainability by offsetting the school’s paper usage. Key Club is working with TreePlenish, a nonprofit organization that seeks to build sustainable schools and communities. The Club’s goal is to sell andplant at least 160 saplings in yards throughout the community. That number is based on the amount ofpaper the high school ordered for the 2018-19 school year; Tree-Plenish estimates that planting one tree will offset 10,000 sheets of paper. The young trees range from 18 to 24 inches long. Sales will end on March 18.     To read more please log in or subscribe to the digital edition http://www.etypeservices.com/West%20Essex%20TribuneID480/   ...
