Yulee Elementary's third-grade classes recently partnered with West Rock for an engaging session as part of the "TICCIT" (Trees into Cartons, Cartons into Trees) program. During this initiative, students delved into the world of sustainable forestry, discovering how trees serve as a renewable resource akin to fruits and vegetables. They explored the myriad uses of trees and paper, as well as the importance of recycling.
Volunteers from West Rock, based locally in Fernandina, generously shared various products made from trees and facilitated an interactive Q&A session. This provided students with valuable insights into trees, tree-based products, and recycling practices.
The highlight of the day was when students had the opportunity to plant seedlings in cardboard cartons, which they could later take home to plant with their families. The event was not only educational but also thoroughly enjoyable for both students and teachers alike.
