Many may remember that several months ago HMP was awarded a tree planting grant. This is not the first time HMP has been awarded a tree planting grant. Many may remember several years ago being asked if the neighborhood could plant a tree on their property. There were a few requirements that property-owners need to be willing to do in order to ensure the survival of the tree.
Well, the second round of tree planting in HMP was a success. Neighbors, members of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and Butler students volunteered to help plant 50 trees that included 17 different species of trees which offers much need diversity for a sustainable canopy.
