DALLAS — Students, faculty, and staff at W.W. Samuell High School worked with community members to plant 50 new trees on campus.

Based on the environmental benefits, these trees have an estimated economic value of more than $100,000 and planting them helps Samuell become a negative carbon footprint school. A carbon footprint is a calculation of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced measured in units of carbon dioxide.

Samuell was chosen as a tree planting site by the Texas Trees Foundation and AMEC Earth & Environment under the Roadmap to Tree Planning and Planting initiative.
