When one plants, it is always with awareness of the threats – frost, aphids, jumping worms, caterpillars, locusts, woodchucks, browsing deer, so many challenges! In spite of the proximity to the Mascoma RIver, we did not anticipate the threat of beavers. But the Russet apple tree, planted near the MRG Umbrella sculpture, during Climate Action Week, September 2019, has been felled. Hope springs eternal; we have an offer of a scion graft – will it take? Stay tuned!
