District has orchastrated a tree planting day with the Gooding High School Envirothon Team-advisors Becky Freiberg
and Mr. Woodland, NRCS - Steve Thompson, supervisor - Bob Bolte and staff - Barbara Astle. The project is called
"Trees Against the Wind" where the District has been building snowfences / wind breaks along the highway
south of Gooding to stop soil erosion & snow blowing. Today we are working wtih Mr. Faulkner who owns the property
along the highway and has purchased the trees and a portion of the mulch while we organize the tree planting itself.
It was a team effort and a very successful Day!
