Just a quick shout-out today to the 20 volunteers who helped the Friends of Webster Trails plant nearly 100 baby trees from from the ReTree nursery on the most recent workday, Oct. 21.
It was the Friends’ second annual fall planting event, which this year saw trees planted at Whiting Road Nature Preserve and Gosnell Big Woods.
The Friends’ Webster ReTree Project was begun in 2022 to address the loss of forests to insects and disease, by raising and planting a variety of native trees. The project has two objectives:
- to improve the ecological resiliency of forested habitat within the Webster Open Space area, and
- to increase public knowledge of the threats to local forest ecology and ways we can collectively mitigate these risks
Thank you again, volunteers, for all your hard work.
