TREE PLANTING

Brown's Creek Watershed District is looking for some volunteers to help with a tree planting on Saturday, June 6th at 8 AM.  Please let me know if you can help or forward this along to anyone who may be interested.

 
High temperatures in Brown's Creek is one of the stressors that has been identified in recent studies.  This planting is being done to provide more shade to Brown's Creek.  This project is being done on MN DNR property with funding assistance from Trout Unlimited.  Your volunteer labor is helping us match their grant.
 
The BCWD is going to be planting 55 native shrubs and trees along Brown's Creek.  Most will be 6 foot tall trees in 5 gallon pots.  The trees will arrive on Friday, June 5th and be placed in the planting locations.  If you are available for assistance on Friday, please let me know that as well. 
 
Any help you can give (an hour or two) on the delivery date of Friday, June 5th (approximately noon, but I will know after next Tuesday) and/or on Saturday, June 6th is greatly appreciated. 
 
More information and location maps are attached.  If you have any questions or to RSVP, reply to me or call at 651-274-1136 ext 26.
