30 Years Strong

For well over 30 years Coös K-12 kids have received seedlings. This year thanks to Coös County Conservation District and Lancaster Scouts, the event was not canceled due to Covid-19. However, it was done a bit differently. Because Natural Resource volunteers were not able to visit classrooms as they typically would, BSA Troop 219 from Lancaster, and Cub Scouts from pack 219 packaged over 2000 seedling so they could be redistributed to schools throughout the county. Some schools like Colebrook coordinated this with work pick-up day while others delivered seedlings with the school lunch program. Colebrook’s were scheduled to be distributed this morning. Partners including NH State Nursery, Coös County Conservation District and UNH Extension helped make this project possible. Photo Courtesy Boy Scouts Troop 219.
