Planting Project for Stream Team # 2945

La Russell Stream Team #2945 has committed to plant more seedlings on the La Russell Access point this spring. In collaboration with the Missouri Department of Conservation's District Forrester, we will be planting 25 Witch Hazel trees in the most high erodible areas. The Witch Hazel was selected for it erosion control, food and cover for wildlife. Witch Hazel is a large shrub occurring in and along dry, rocky stream beds in southern and east central Missouri. We are expecting them late winter-early spring. Two years ago Stream Team #2945 was successful in planting 75 seedlings on the site. We could use help planting the new Witch Hazel seedlings.
