We want to get some trees growing on the property. We heard of a program through the State Forrest Service where you can order seedlings for a great price. We ordered them last fall. They were ready to pick up last week. Brancen is working on his Webelos Badge and one of the requirements for an award is to plant 20 trees. We had 100 seedlings to plant so his enthusiasm for scouts works in our favor! We took him and his friend Michael up to the property on Saturday so they could each plant 20 trees. It was a very rainy and muddy day.
Brancen and Michael ready to plant!
While they waited for the rain to let up, they played tennis in the basement.
Then they pulled nails out of boards.
We finally decided to plant in a slow drizzle to get them in. By the time we were finished with 50 trees, it was raining a lot harder. At least the trees got off to a wet start. Hopefully we can keep them growing all summer. It will be fun to watch them grow and remember how small they started out. Thanks Webelo Scouts Brancen and Michael!
