Organized Event: Forest Aid Event

[USMC 0369]

[COLOR="Sienna"]Forest Aid kicked off it's SBNF planting schedule last week, and is going to be planting again in the Arrowhead area on April 10th & 11th. The link up point is the Lake Arrowhead Elementary School at 9am for volunteers, 8:30am for supervisors.

AAT members remember that these hours will count towards MJR's total, and your individual hours for 2010.

If you have time, come on out, get some fresh air and help restore the forest in these areas badly burned in recent years. If you can't make this weekend, planting dates are throughout April and into May.

To get on the schedule, see the Forest Aid website: http://www.forestaid.net/calendar

See ya there![/COLOR]

Sunday 4-11

Tracy and I just got back from our first day of ForestAid this year. Our group of 40 volunteers planted over 1000 saplings. We will be going back again next Sunday.

Saturday:

[COLOR="Sienna"]Saturday was a great time also. I didn't get any pictures, but Seventy-five volunteers planted 1250 trees! Would have planted more, but we ran out!

I'm planning to go up again on the 17th to help again, apparently the ground in the Big Bear area is still frozen. The event has been kept in the Lake Arrowhead area. There is also planting taking place on the 18th. Will post more information very soon. Or you can go to the ForestAid website to sign up![/COLOR]

I was told this morning that the tree planting will remain at Lake Arrowhead next weekend; apparently, the ground at Big Bear is still too cold for planting.
