A big thank you to everyone who came out to the Dance Mill Rd. site last weekend at Dulaney Branch near Loch Raven reservoir. After much hole drilling, tree planting, stake pounding and tree watering, we ended up with 270 trees in the ground.
We'll be having two more planting days this fall on Saturday Oct. 28 and Saturday Nov. 4 from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
More thanks go to Constellation Energy for donating the trees and the Restore Corps program at the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay for providing equipment & expertise. We used a new medium-weight power auger and 4" diameter drill for the first time that worked very well.
We planted a mix of American planetree (a.k.a. sycamore), red oak, pin oak, white ash, and green ash seedlings. The seedlings were 1to 3 feet tall and 1/4" to 1/2" in diameter.
