On March 21, we successfully planted 75 trees on the grounds of Lafayette High School.  However, after the planting, we discovered that 23 of the trees had been planted too deeply. According to Dave Leonard, certified arborist and volunteer consultant on this project, trees will die if planted too deeply.  We had to devise a plan to lift the trees.

Thanks to 10 determined volunteers working over Saturday and Sunday, all 23 trees that needed to be raised up in their beds, now have been!  All that will be needed in the next few weeks is mulching with the wood chips that Dave Leonard, has generously offered to donate and deliver. When the wood chips are delivered, we will be adding mulch to each of the 75 trees. Thank you to all who gave time this weekend for this great project!
