Over the past few days, we have planted sessile oaks (Quercus petraea) in areas where we previously planted in 2021 and 2023. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WKG47QsWdnPYaaTV6  / https://maps.app.goo.gl/ESV4fYR7AH7Lkexq5By replacing non-surviving seedlings, we are helping the oak groves maintain a sufficiently high tree density necessary to outcompete the vigorous herbaceous vegetation and shrubs that grow on these sunlit surfaces.In the meanwhile, the seedlings intended for planting in April on the open planting days have been moved to a cold storage room.
