PLANTING SEASON BEGINS!
Our planting season is currently in full swing!
The Sk'aadgaa Naay Elementary School - Parent Advisory Committee reached out to Taan to organize the previous years donation of red and yellow cedar seedling trees for the students to take home.
This year we challenged the students to join us in one of our blocks to plant as many trees as they could in exchange for a $2000.00 donation to the SNES PAC to go towards purchasing new playground equipment.
On May 20th our Taan crews took the Sk'aadgaa Naay Elementary School Grades 4-7 students to the MIL001 block awaiting planting. The students first received a planting demonstration, learned about reforestation and how the cedar seedlings are protected from the deer by the use of the white cone protectors you see in a newly planted block.
Some very energetic students managed to plant around 500 Sitka Spruce trees during their shifts!
A big Haawa to the PAC, the SNES staff and to each of the Grades 4-7 Students for reaching out and working with us to figure out all the details and for putting up with the black flies!
