Right: The Reclamation Project's urban reforestation component was launched at Shorecrest Prep School in St. Petersburg, FL on January 27th, 2009 at 10 am. The school grounds were reclaimed for nature as third and fourth graders plant an adult size Red Cedar (native) tree and large green project flag.  NFL representative Jack Groh and Native Plant Society officers joined artist Xavier Cortada in distributing 60 project stick flags and native tree saplings to fourth graders, who planted them in their front yards reclaiming them for nature.  Students will encourage their neighbors to do the same.  In the coming weeks another 240 native saplings and flags will be distributed to Shorecrest Prep students.

The trees distributed to students will be part of the NFL sanctioned planting to address climate change in the Super Bowl host community will be monitored by the NFL Environmental Program.
