This year we're supporting tree planting projects on public libraries with the Check Out Forestry project. Hinesburg's Carpenter-Carse Library was the first to receive trees this spring.
Two black ash splint pounding workshops brought communities together in Castleton and Tinmouth in mid-June. Black ash is very susceptible to emerald ash borer infestation yet is an ecological and cultural cornerstone of the region. From seed saving to splint pounding, VT UCF is joining the effort to ensure a future for black ash on the landscape and with communities.
This spring, thanks to the generous support of the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), we worked together to plant new trees and brighten up two Vermont communities through the Community Tree Fund.
