Conservation Corner: Stories From Our Grounds

If you visit the Rye Nature Center you may be noticing some work happening on the grounds or see some odd looking tubes along the low lying trails by the Blind Brook. Right now is prime planting time for our tree saplings, the weather is fairly mild and will give the young trees a fighting chance to grow strong before the heat of summer. This year we received about 260 tree saplings including river birch, white pine, burr oak, and red dogwood. The conservation staff at RNC has been working hard each week to get these trees into the ground.

Watch the video below to see how the planting process is done!
