It’s shaping up to be a busy summer at Woodland Dunes Nature Center and Preserve in Two Rivers.
In the summer DUNESLETTER, executive director Jim Knickelbine explains they’ll again be planting 2,500 potted trees in the preserve, each averaging up to 8-feet tall.
Knickelbine said unfortunately the activity has become more urgent after the confirmed presence of emerald ash borer.
Thankfully, he says, all of our trees are not ash, but rather consist of many alders, red maples, beech, white and yellow birch, white pine, hemlock, white cedar and others.
Knickelbine also said they have eight summer interns, funded by grants and donations.
Those interns will restore forest habitat by removing invasive shrubs and planting native trees and shrubs, improve pollinator habitat and assist with summer education programs.
