We set a new record for wrapping tree seedlings – well over a thousand in an hour and a half! We had some great volunteers and the work went quickly. Every tree is wrapped in newspaper with damp peat moss to keep it from drying out, then packaged in a bag. These bald cypress seedlings will be handed out to every 4th grader in Humphreys and Dickson County.
Many hands make light work…and we had a full crew of volunteers to package tree seedlings on Saturday. The Dickson Beautification & Tree Management Board would like to thank our helpers from Tennessee Forestry, UT Extension Dickson and Humphries Counties 4H members, Gardening Partners, Dickson Parks Department, and our board members. It was a fun project and we packaged over 950 trees to be given out to 4th graders in both counties. We all had some great conversations and made some new friends. Can’t wait for next year!
