Daniel Seekford, a junior in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning program at the Center for Career and Technical Education, uses a pick Wednesday to soften the soil where he and about 50 other students from the Career Center, Westmar High and Beall High will plant trees on Homer Hill Road near Klondike. The students were joined by officials from the Federal Office of Surface Mining, Maryland Department of Environment, Bureau of Mines, Georges Creek Watershed Association and others. More than 5,000 native hardwood seedlings will be planted to commemorate Arbor Day, which is April 27.
