Time to plant trees with Clean North! Do what you can to improve the air and cool the planet!
Saturday August 18 from 9:00 am to Noon at Lemieux's on Black Road. The trees are larger stock this year, so they will sell for $5 per tree. The tree species are mainly Norway Spruce, Red Pine, Bur Oak, Red Oak, and European Larch. The pine and oak are from a local seed source, all grow well in this climate. Do remember to water well during planting and throughout this first growing season to get the trees well established.
Christmas tree chip mulch will be available, by donation. It works well for conifer trees, as it is acidic. Layers of newspaper on top of the soil, then about six inches of tree chip mulch, will prevent weeds and grasses from overtopping your little tree and taking all the nutrients, water, and sunlight. Bring your own container(s) for mulch (first come, first served until it's gone).
Thanks
