TREEEEES!!!!!
Earth Rising is about to do our first re afforestation project on about >3 acres. Converting a spot in the middle of industrial Agriculture to a mixed hardwood forest. Our hope is to make this a yearly tradition so that we can bring the forest back. It’s ultimately essential for our survival on several levels.

With a relatively dry climate (these pics we’re taken during the winter) these swales help to hold water higher in the soil before making it’s way to lower ground. This helps to reduce erosion, conserve water, and prevent leaching of nutrients.
