Activities

Summer is in full swing and so are the weeds! Bluebells, thistle, and blackberry are popping up in our planting zones, and our baby plants are vulnerable to being outcompeted or scorched. We will be continuing to mulch around our recent plantings from the spring to protect them from the summer weeds and heat as they grow into a future healthy forest.
