Kiva Mann, TelfairLife Coordinator for Newland Communities’ 2,018-acre Telfair master-planned community, presented a $4,000 donation to Keep Sugar Land Beautiful Executive Director Vicki Gist and Margaret Hall Spencer, president of the board for KSLB. The donation was part of a community-wide celebration held on National Arbor Day, April 24. Fifth-graders from Cornerstone Elementary School in Telfair made speeches about the environmental importance of planting trees, and each student took home a live oak sapling donated by Houston Landscape Unlimited. The event ended with the students helping to plant a live oak tree across from their school. It was the third annual Arbor Day celebration at Telfair, located at U.S. 59 South and University Blvd.
