For the fourth consecutive year, the Climate Change Coalition of Door County, the Forest Recovery Project and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) will join with area high school students to celebrate Earth Day by planting trees between April 22 and May 4.

TNC will supply the trees and two planting sites: Gibraltar and Sturgeon Bay students will be at TNC’s Mink River property, and Sevastopol students will plant at Shivering Sands Preserve. Seth Wilson, a science teacher at Sturgeon Bay High School, has offered his acreage to Southern Door students as a fourth site.

Plantings will conclude on May 4, 10 am, at the Mink River Preserve, where the public is invited to participate in the final planting. Details will be available at climatechangedoorcounty.org.
