Volunteer with Somerset Woods Trustees and join us in planting Princeton elms at Kennebec Banks Rest Area (Skowhegan) to replace invasive Norway maples that were removed!We will plant 4 Princeton elms, a variety of the native tree species that has been selected for its ability to do well in the conditions at the rest area and its resistance to the Dutch elm disease. These Princeton elms will replace invasive Norway maples that were removed from the property and will grow to become shade trees.
This event is suitable for those 10 years old and up. Participants should expect to arrive for a volunteer sign-in, safety chat, planting demonstration, and tool distribution. Plan for wet weather: wear appropriate boots and bring a raincoat with you, along with gloves! Some snacks and extra water will be provided.
Rain date: Saturday, April 25 4PM-6PM
