News : Scouts continue tree planting project on Glime property

Scouts helped plant 500 trees on the Glime property on Saturday.

Approximately 25 people from Boy Scout Troop 47 (Vinton), Cub Scout Pack 47 (Vinton) and Cub Scout Pack 43 (Shellsburg) helped plant 500 bare root seedlings - a mix of Red Oak and Walnut.

The project was at the Russ and Barb Glime property between Shellsburg and Urbana. They have about 7 acres of timber that was heavily damaged in the 2011 wind storm. The property was logged to clear out the damaged trees then the Glimes began the restoration with 500 seedlings last year and continued with another 500 this year. They are considering one more batch next spring.
