VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR TVTU CELEBRATION OF ARBOR DAY

Thames Valley Trout Unlimited (TVTU) will celebrate Arbor Day by planting white pine seedlings along an eroded bank of the Blackledge River in Colchester, Connecticut.  The TVTU event is scheduled for 10:30 on Saturday, 30 April.  The site is on state land just downstream of River Road.  There will be signs posted to indicate the entrance to the event.  The work site is a mix of level and moderate slope and there will be off-road parking.  This will be a family and kid-friendly event open to the general public.  Water, coffee and donuts will be provided. 

Volunteers will conduct limited brush clearing and plant 40 white pine, a species known to thrive in the immediate vicinity.  Each tree will be approximately three feet tall.  Please bring gloves and tools suitable for digging in gravely soil and cutting back invasive brush.  Additional tools will be available at the event.  Any further questions, please contact Marc Cardwell (marcrc@att.net).
