A quick update over the course of last weeks progress. Mr. Ray visited informing us of needed tasks we had to accomplish to get this wetland mitigation approved. We were taught the process of replanting hooker willow. Were continuing to work hard, but due to the awful weather lately again its taking a toll. Hopefully once we can get some sun we will make up for lost time.

Throughout the week we will continue to spread bark dust, were hoping to get a couple more truck loads before the weekend. Were planning on getting another large group together this Sunday if the weather permits it. Our production is speeding up, every ones getting involved and are excited about the progress we've made.

January 9th

Today we got a lot of work from kids in the school. Our group of three quickly turned into 9 which speed up the process dramatically. We continued spreading bark dust throughout the land and planting grass along the embankment to prevent erosion. The work we got to day with 9 people is more than we usually do in a week. We planted around 60 plants, and got the majority of the hill covered in bark dust.

Back to work

Today we got back to work in the wetland which we missed dearly. We began to continue shoveling bark chips through out the surrounding area. We will continue doing this for the next couple days. Once we finish we will restart production on the plants.

Today we were informed by our science teacher Steve Porter that we have a few spruce trees in pots that he's willing to give to us. We also have a set date for Mr Ray to return and observe our progress. Also this weekend were hoping to get some students to come help us kick start the planting process
