Seedlings Report

Way to go USLA!

Our members have planted over 1500 trees since early May 2023. Trees were made available to members that signed up by end of May. There are still a few white pine, cedar, red maple and white oak trees left for those that still want to replace a few trees after the 2022 Derecho. We also planted a number of white pine, cedar and maple at the USLA Pavilion to replace trees that were either damaged in the big storm, or growing into the foundation of the building.

Here are some of our member’s photos. Thanks to Jan Jaworsky for our cover photo.
