The Town of Carpendale received 24
flowering trees to plant along their newly created
Rail-to-Trail walking path in Mineral County, WV. Many trail
users have asked the mayor to plant trees at this location
to shade the trail during the hot summer months. This tree
planting took place on April 22nd with the
assistance of Jessica Wise, Urban Forester for WV Division
of Forestry. Mulch was donated from a local source and
spread around the trees by a local Girl Scout troop. The
Mayor and town staff has been monitoring the trees, mulch
levels and soil moisture daily on weekdays to make sure the
soil does not get too dry.
A note from the Project Leader, Mayor
Armentrout:
“The best part of the project was
having readily available technical support and assistance
from the CTree Liaison.”
