Week 5

This week was especially gratifying for the team. The week started off in the same site as the previous weeks and the crew was really happy to see the progress they have made and the large expanse of area they have successfully cleared. It rained on Wednesday causing a change of plans and the team welcomed the chance to work with Park Service employees. After a tour of the planting grounds and a quick overview of local plants, the crew participated in every part of the planting process: planting in the greenhouse, transplanting, prepping plants for planting, covering a greenhouse for winter, and finally planting in the bog. The team was excited to see what a site looked like after seven years of restoration work versus the initial clearing stages which they have been working on for the past few weeks.
