The Upper Valley Land Trust is kicking off a new volunteer program this spring – the Tree Team! The first volunteer event will take place from 3-5 pm on Friday, March 27, at the Brookmead Conservation Area in Norwich, VT. Outdoor program leader Holly Henderson will lead a short hike to collect cuttings from various native trees. The cuttings will be planted in an air prune box (a planting container that helps develop fibrous root systems) as the start of a small-scale tree nursery at the Brookmead garden. We will also make “willow tea”, which will be used as a natural DIY rooting growth hormone for our tree cuttings!
