We dug up about 1,500 trees from the nursery ranging from 3 to 20 feet tall from our growing beds. Smaller trees were potted in 5-20 gallon pots. About 1,000 of the largest trees were planted along the river including spruce, pine, fir, tamarack, cedar, poplar and maple. Over 1,000 m of open river bank was planted. Another 800 trees were potted for future work and another 1,000 smaller trees from the nursery were planted in beds for the 2014-15 seasons.
Many hands make light work. I hope to see a lot more of you out there next time!

More trees for the river. That huge silver maple beside my truck was planted by CRAA in 2003 as a 3" caliper, 15 feet tall. Now is 12" caliper and 40 feet tall.
Make sure you don't miss the next event! We saw some sweet water, saw some nice fish and had a great time.
