Planting time is here

April 1, 2014 by admin

Spring has sprung.

The rains have come.

Some times I participate in an Arbor Day exercise with grade schools and offer the seedlings to students to take home to plant. I started doing this in 1986 and am a proud caretaker of a 30 foot tree my son planted when he was in the fourth grade.

An Act of Kindness

July 17, 2010 by admin

Working together we can make a better place to live and raise our children. Planting a tree is an act of kindness. You may not live to see it mature and yet future generations are going to appreciate it. Trees provide refreshed oxygen, carbon dioxide filtration, water purification, wood products, renewable fuel and wildlife habitat. Planting a tree can be as easy as scratching the earth and burying a seed. Happy planting.
