Bob Pedatella has been enjoying giving back to his community for many years. He teaches kids annually about tree planting, stressing it's importance to coincide with National Arbor Day. This year, 2010, Bob was in three different counties, Passaic, Bergen, and Morris, enjoying the fine Spring weather with the kids.

On Friday April 30, 2010 at Haskell School, Bob taught the third graders how to plant the Eastern Redbud tree (Cercis canadensis) that was donated by Birch Hill Nursery of Wayne. " I tell them about Arbor Day and why we're planting tress - how trees die, how you can protect them and how you can help them survive." It was the twelfth year that Kodiak Landscape Design has planted a tree at Haskell Elementary School.

It was also our fourth year at Gingerbread Kids Academy in Wanaque. And this year, we planted a tree at the Kinnelon School.
