Last fall Shenandoah Green, a local non-profit environmental group, launched The Legacy Tree Project with the goal of planting 2,745 trees in Staunton, one for every child in the Staunton City Schools.
MBU’s Spencer Center for Civic and Global Engagement identified the Legacy Tree Project as one of its civic engagement programs for the year, and has sponsored several weekend planting sessions for MBU students to get their hands dirty for a good cause.
