We’re thrilled to report that twenty-one months, more than two-thirds of the American Chestnut saplings planted on the Russel property are surviving. On June 6th, a group of Biodiversity volunteers, under the guidance of Mara McHaffie, BTC Ecologist and Land Stewardship Coordinator, met to monitor, replace tree guards, and mulch around the trunks of these still-vulnerable young trees. This is but one Biodiversity project designed to restore native habitat and bolster the local ecosystem. Thank you to the volunteers who help to make this happen!
