In the past two days the Sunshine Crew has planted 1100 plugs including maple, serviceberry, willow, and elderberry in the Nelson Miller and Mid Logan units! The units are controlled burn sites. The purpose of these sites is to remove fuel thereby reducing the danger of wildfires, and to encourage regrowth of new plantlife. The new plugs will provide food to the local wildlife.
Some plants have been staked and recorded in order to monitor their growth throughout the coming years.
We have also begun marking wildlife snags. Wildlife snags are dead trees which are ideal wildlife habitats. Marking the snags will protect them from becoming firewood. If you would like to know more about wildlife snags, check it out here!
