Flooding affects Wild Plums

Several of the wild plums seedlings, planted 3 years ago, were damaged in the two October 2009 floods. Of the six seedlings planted north of the river, four are leaning significantly. La Russell Stream Team #2945 is consulting state forester to develop plan for up righting the trees. The wild plum species was selected for their root system in preventing erosion. Watch for updates on the repair process.
