There will be 120 trees planted in the yards of Cuero residents courtesy of a Keep America Beautiful project on Saturday, Nov. 8, according to Keep Cureo Beautiful President Sara Meyer.
Meyer said Keep America Beautiful recently advised the local organization of the $15,000 grant funded by the Home Depot Foundation. The tree planting event is one of several across the country made possible by a $250,000 grant to Keep America Beautiful from the home improvement store’s foundation.
“Following the plantings, Cureo will be greener,” said Meyer, who noted that 60 15-gallon Shumard Oaks and 60 15-gallon Muskogee Crepe Myrtles would be planted in Cureo.
