One Day One School

The award-winning program, established in 2006, brings together tree experts, school officials, town representatives, local companies and students who volunteer their time and services to make their community school grounds cleaner and safer.  Many of the area’s best tree companies and landscaping services are on board once again, and they remain committed to making this day successful. The organizers are quick to identify the grass-roots, voluntary nature of the program as the central key to its ongoing success.  “The entire initiative is based on encouraging students to come out to participate and take ownership of their schools,” Gallagher adds. “It provides a way to give back to the community to provide our students and our community a school that is safe, beautiful and a place we can be proud of.
