In early June, UVM forestry students teamed up with the VT Urban & Community Forestry Program to plant 16 new trees at the Castleton Public Library through our Check Out Forestry program.
Arriving at the Montpelier Tree Nursery one drizzly morning in early May, I carried a shovel, some pruning shears, garbage bags, and a giant ball of twine. The task at hand was not to plant trees, but to un-plant them.
The Community Tree Fund, supported through a sponsorship from the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) will support 6 small-scale tree planting projects through mini-grants.
