April 15, 2005 - Tree Planting Begins
We got a jump on the tree planting planned for tomorrow - brother Kraig down from Twin Cities.
We had many hands tonight working on the northern pine border. 
We planted Canaan Fir today, Iowa’s best equivalent of Balsam Fir. 
Even the smallest hands helped haul water. Rachel and Martin brought us buckets with a gallon or so of water at a time from a stock tank on a trailer. They also helped move carts.
