The Tampa Bay Derby Darlins had their first official green event take place at Little Bayou Park, in St. Petersburg, this past Saturday morning. Teaming up with the super fun and cool people at T.R.E.E. (Tampa Bay Reforestation and Environmental Effort, Inc.) the Darlins planted over 100 native trees at the Park in a record time.

With about a 20 minute introduction from T.R.E.E. representatives about how big to dig the holes for the trees and how to fill them in properly and top with mulch, the girls were off and running with shovels in hands in groups to get started. Some of the T.R.E.E. reps mentioned how this was one of the most humid days they have ever done a planting, but no one seemed to complain about the weather as everyone knew that there was important work to be done.
