AEP Texas is going green — one tree at a time.
Utility Forester Jesse Alvear joined students and staff at Lyford Elementary on Wednesday, April 30, to celebrate Arbor Day with a hands-on tree planting ceremony.
The event is part of a larger effort by AEP Texas to promote environmental awareness across the Rio Grande Valley. Alvear has two more events lined up in Harlingen and La Feria, and he is hoping to include the participation of Region Support and Service Distribution.
With shovels in hand, students were excited to experience planting a tree for the first time.
