Tree planting Friday, April 4, 3-7

We are digging and replanting some small white pine trees.

The magnificent white pine stand has created a lot of little trees, that need to be moved for their own health and to protect the neighbors’ driveway. We’ll move some to repair tornado damage and begin a privacy screen, and give some away.

Notes:

• Don’t use the registration form, just email me. Tell me what hours you plan to come. I’ll send directions to everyone who contacts.
• Wear sturdy shoes. If you have a favorite shovel or favorite gloves, bring them; otherwise we provide. I recommend avoiding fuzzy clothes, which pick up burrs and stuff. Jeans and a shirt are good, and I can lend appropriate thing.
• If you would like to take home a little pine tree, you might bring a bucket or plant pot. A 5-gallon bucket would be enough for the biggest trees.
• If you want to come early, you can join us in finding where to plant, or help with supper prep. The time is organized for people who work regular jobs.
• There will be food, and probably some of us will stay until dark.
• Weather forecast is over 50 for that afternoon.
