Clearlake >> The Clearlake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club (CLT&TGC) announced that it has contributed to 69 acres to Penny Pines reforestation program.
Under a conservation agreement, an individual or organization can contribute $68 toward the cost of planting seedlings on about 1 acre of national forest land in California and receive a Penny Pines certificate. Using the donation, together with federal funds, the forest service will do the planting on the national forest of the donor’s choice. The Penny Pines plantings are made as part of the regular national forest reforestation program on burned over and brush covered areas which are potentially productive timberland. Using these donations, combined with regular forest planting funds, millions of pine, fir, redwood and giant sequoia seedlings have been planted on acres of national forest land in California.
