3rd Annual Longleaf Pine Tree Planting Completed
Sincere Thanks to all the Volunteers
Highlands County Audubon planted a special kind of tree in a special area Friday. Kudos to the team and their invited guest.
Most of you know of Platt Branch and its Red Cockaded Woodpecker population. They are thriving in this area because of the established longleaf pines. Our intent is to add more so we have been working with FWC to plant additional trees. These special birds only nest in living longleaf pines in our area because it provides them with safety from snakes and other predators. For this reason, we will be adding nesting trees and at the same time working on removing one metric ton of CO2e over the lifetime of each tree.
