Rain or shine we are hard at work getting trees in the ground this fall!

Fall is a fantastic time to plant trees as the mild temperatures and warmer soil temps promote better root establishment going into winter. Trees planted in the fall also have a better head start come spring.

If you have any questions regarding tree planting this fall give us a call. (218)-732-0121

University of Minnesota Extension educators are excited to bring you this webinar series on learning more about our pollinators. This four-part series will cover how the changing climate affects pollinators, the role of pollinators in food production, ideas for establishing pollinator habitats in small spaces, and how woodlands can serve as another pollinator habitat.
