More than 30 loggers showed up to see the equipment and hear about Log A Load For Kids. Volunteers busily prepared hot dogs and coffee as the event got underway. Following the press conference, Potlatch foresters supervised the tree planting. The Webelos troop busily planted dozens of trees in a freshly harvested area. Vanessa, with the assistance of the troop, planted several of the red pine seedlings.
Potlatch plans to reforest the entire area following the harvest.
