20 April 2007

Today we celebrated Earth Day 2007 by planting 50 White Pine (Pinus strobus) behind the school as a part of the NY DEC free trees for schools program. About 10 years ago the woods behind the school was logged so we did our part to reforest the area. During the morning plantings we heard numerous downy and hairy woodpeckers and observed the skunk cabbage poking through the ground.

TASIA D. and SIERRA K. found a nice open slope location for their tree.
MIKAELA B. and NICOLE H. battle the rocks to dig the perfect hole.

It was a fantastic day to do great stuff for the outdoors. Being the old lady, you guys are saving nature for your generation. Do a good job at it, okay? msb

I cant believe that we dug all through that first hole then got a crap load of rocks and had to go to a different spot. Which turned out that one had more than the one before!
but it was fun.
