| Topic | Tour: Maxcys Mill Riparian Buffer Planting along the West Branch |
The Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association organized a large tree planting along a power line corridor in Windsor in May 2000. The site, known as Maxcys Mills, was planted with 1200 low growing native container shrubs which arrived in a truck. The trees had to be moved up to a half mile down the river using human power alone. Photo by J. McNitt May 2000.
The trees were staged in different locations along the half mile stretch planted. Photo by M. Halsted May 2000.
