Arriving at the Montpelier Tree Nursery one drizzly morning in early May, I carried a shovel, some pruning shears, garbage bags, and a giant ball of twine. The task at hand was not to plant trees, but to un-plant them.
The Community Tree Fund, supported through a sponsorship from the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) will support 6 small-scale tree planting projects through mini-grants.
Last fall, VT UCF filmed a series of short instructional videos to support proper tree planting of bareroot, containerized, and balled and burlapped trees. As you get ready for spring planting, check them out!
