A freshly planted sapling is surrounded by a cage to deter predators.
Each cage has a plaque that identifies the tree and who the tree is donated by.
Volunteers carry tools, caging material, and trees on ATV’s and trucks as they stop at each fitness station to do the plantings.
Buchanan city leaders met to sign the germplasm agreement.
