Description of Work Completed:
On June 7, 2013, 1 adult and 10 youth planted 48 lodgepole pines in a distrubed area on Vail resorts where a new gondola was constucted. This was a challenging job for all involved because the trees were 2 years old and weighed over 50 lbs/each. SOS Outreach dug all holes, which had to accommodate a root ball of 1.5 ft in diameter and a depth of 3 ft, carry the trees to the hole which was on a sloped area, and then properly bury the root ball. They accomplished a great deal in one afternoon.
