Bicentennial Buckeye Tree Planting
Basic details
Background
A buckeye tree was planted on the grounds of Worthington Estates School during the 2002-2003 school year in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of Worthington and the statehood of Ohio. Dan Williams, Principal, is pictured turning the earth with a shovel as students look on.
The Ohio buckeye, or Aesculus glabra, is native to Ohio. Its large shiny brown nuts resembles deers' eyes, hence the name 'buckeye'.
