Organized by the Sugar Pine Foundation, Jan and I donned our grubbies and headed out to do something special... plant trees.
The Emerald Fire began at 1:28 AM on October 14, 2016. It was a wind-whipped wildfire which raged out of control, forcing evacuations, closing roads and schools, and triggering power outages. By the time it was extinguished, 176 acres of forest were charred.
How appropriate that on Earth Day, an amazing team of volunteers gathered to replant this beautiful spot with 750 trees!
Jan and I made a great team as we planted approximately 70 Cedar, Jeffery and Sugar Pine trees.
And what stunning scenery.
There were several little girls there, too. These helpers, ages 3-6, trudged up the hill and worked hard. What troopers they were.
I was intrigued by this can. It is definitely "vintage", a three piece can with a pull top. Wild to think it has been there for decades.
Someone is sitting in the shade today
because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

So wish I had been able to be with you all planting...great job!!!
I made a spelling error. Attempt two...
According to me research, those pines should be 40 feet tall in 20 years!
Nice work and Happy Earth Day!
