Hartnett's project Adopt-A-Tree, was an innovative outdoor science project. The program integrated several fields ranging from botany and ecology to math and art for diverse grade and academic levels. Its framework utilized the skills and creativity of students to produce and maintain tree identification markers, trail guides, and bird boxes for the Redwood Valley Outdoor Education Center. The students also had the opportunity to become teachers when they guided visitors through the center.
