We had a Cooper school work party today. We started out with some initial invasive removal. We cleared a total area of 1,771 sq.ft. of Scotch broom (see before & after pictures below) and blackberry, and all of the debris was hauled to the school driveway. The other half of the day was devoted to planting. We put 55 Doug fir, 14 Hazelnut, 32 Tall Oregon grape, and 27 Salal in the ground by the end of the day, plus 100 mulch rings.
