Back in July I put together a post on the Great Central High School Urban Reforestation. Since then I have scanned 70 pictures from the original planting and learned a great deal from the woman responsible for it.There are so many interesting things about this project I plan to break it into bits.
To me the most amazing thing about this planting is that a grove of bur oaks or any tree for that matter could start out as a tiny seedling. Those trees were seedlings in a bucket in 1991. The reason we can enjoy them today is that Bonnie Lawrence had the forsight and courage to put them in tree tubes.
This is what it looked like at the start.
