Tree Planting at Natural Lands Trust - A Message from Mike Wilson

Our Spring Planting on the NLT property took place on Saturday and Sunday. I am pleased to report that all 500 trees and shrubs were planted, and each one was fenced against the deer. I can hardly believe that we were able to complete this project in just 2 days. I wanted to thank each volunteer who helped make this possible. I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication.
However, there are several people that deserve special recognition. Susan Harris for developing the planting plan, and helping to lay out the site. Ed and Karen Thompson for all their support, and the wonderful food - outstanding. Tom Flannery for his work on Friday to prepare the site, as well as Sat. and Sunday - fantastic. And all the volunteer who came both days - you know who you are. This project could not have been completed without all these contributions.
I'm looking forward to the day we can all visit the NLT site, and sit under the trees we planted. Thanks again to everyone who supported this Project Headwaters project.
