Pinellas FNPS Presents: The Super Bowl Trail of Trees

In 2009, as one of the events surrounding the Super Bowl in Tampa, nearly 2000 trees were planted. Will Moriaty will tell the tale.
About this Event

Will Moriaty will give us the history of regional tree planting efforts that were spearheaded by the National Football League's Environmental Program and the Tampa Bay Reforestation and Environmental Effort, Inc. (T.R.E.E., Inc.) This project was part of Super Bowl XLIII, held on February 9, 2009 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Over 600 volunteers planted 1,955 trees of 31 varieties (all but 3 of the 1,955 were native) throughout the Tampa Bay Watershed. Sixty-two community organizations and local, state and federal governmental agencies participated in this massive effort.

Have volunteer plants? Bring some native plants from your yard that you want to share in a plant swap.

There will also be a Plant of the Month giveaway!
