In the fall of 2007 I made a goal of planting 1000 trees....
“Trees are the best monuments that a man can erect to his own memory. They speak his praises without flattery, and they are blessings to children yet unborn.” – Lord Orrery, 1749

Participated in a group tree planting on Saturday, February 12 for the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation. I planted over 70 willow sprigs along the Santa Rosa Laguna near Delta Pond and the bird rookery there. As a group, a total of well over 530 trees were sprigged. While working, I heard and saw many birds, including a bald eagle, and a large flock of pelicans, who circled over the pond then flew in a V-formation over the laguna.

0308-0353: Sequoia sempervirens
On January 8th, I joined Forest Unlimited in planting 1300 redwood seedlings on properties above Cazadero. These forests had burned in the 70's and while they had regrown with different trees, needed redwoods. The existing adult trees there will make a great canopy to help these seedlings get a good start. The event was covered by the Press Democrat and published on the front page.
My personal tree count for the day, the number I apply to my goal here: 45.
Family: Cupressaceae
Genus: Sequoia
Species: S. sempervirens
