Students planted clones of the champion Acme Black Willow to reintroduce the tree into the ecosystem, and to help clean water and soil next to a parking lot at their school. They also got a boost from the knowledge passed on about propagation and planting of trees, and are participating in growing clones for replanting in the spring.
Archangel has a new friend in Eagle Scout Jamie Robinson. He has planned a very special Earth Day project to make a difference in Copemish, Michigan on First Creek. To celebrate Earth Day, Jamie and other volunteers will be planting 200 black willow trees that have been donated by Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.
