If you are a science-minded and outdoor-loving individual, NorthWoods needs your help! We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to help conduct our annual Survivability Study on the trees we’ve planted in riparian zones in the Memphremagog watershed for the past three springs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Surveys will consist of measuring, photographing and recording data on small trees and shrubs at planting sites throughout the watershed. Compiled data will help shed light on the overall condition of trees planted at different sites and help inform\u00a0our tree size and species choices for future riparian plantings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sharp eyes and patience are a plus for finding small tree tags in long grass and weeds! Pack a lunch and enjoy the day walking along a riverside collecting data for NorthWoods!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are interested, and have a free day or two on the week of July 28th, please contact Meg Carter at meghann@northwoodscenter.org<\/a>.<\/div>\n
