Halloween usually means costumes, Jack-O'-lanterns and candy for kids. On this year's All Hallows' Eve a local school was treated with new trees.

Volunteers from the non-profit organization Up With Trees, along with students and staff from Wright Elementary, took time out of their Halloween morning to plant new trees on Wright's campus.

In all, the group planted 30 new trees in order to help "Re-Green" the city of Tulsa.

According to the Up With Trees Web site, the organization has been beautifying Tulsa one tree at a time since 1976.
