Thanks to a $10,000 Lowe’s and Keep America Beautiful grant, County Pines Recreational Complex at Samuel Friedland Park now has new trees and mulch! The trees were planted in November, and mulch was spread by six Lowe’s Volunteers on November 30.

The trees will give shade to a playground that will be installed in the area in the future.

Keep America Beautiful Grant, UPS Foundation Help Plant Trees in Stub Canal Park

Leave a comment

New trees, plants, and mulch are now in Palm Beach County’s Stub Canal Park, thanks to a $5,000 grant from Keep America Beautiful and UPS Foundation volunteers.

The trees and plants were planted in early October at the West Palm Beach park, which includes green space and a boat ramp popular among skiers.

“Trees are probably the best fight that we have against things like climate change and also provide a wonderful canopy for the recreational users of our parks here in Palm Beach County,” said Lourdes Ferris, Executive Director of Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful.
