Tree Planting Events
more info | call Joseph (570) 454.6491 or jburinsky@psu.edu
We’ll be planting a couple of hundred 1-3 year seedlings of red and jack pine in the next few days/weeks at the Eckley/Council Ridge anthracite coal vein near the Eckley Miner’s Village Museum. Come, remember. In a couple of hours your hands - your love - will help a lot.
The work is physically demanding: either hot, dry and dusty, cold or wet and slippery... but you know you’re alive. Often the seedling’s survival rate is only 5%, an incomprehensible failure to our nursery stock sprinklered fertilized green lawn minds. But here the Earth’s scab while old is still barren, robbed of everything, empty. So we bring back the Tree People to help as best they can.
The Earth teaches us again and again that the ultimate challenge is simply to keep trying.
