One of the things on my "to do" list for this week is to write up an annual tree planting plan. At Yellow River Forest, we generally plant about ten acres per year to native trees from the State Forest Nursery in Ames. We prefer to plant mixtures of oak with other upland hardwoods. Occasionally, we mix red and white pines in our hardwoods to act as "trainers" for the hardwood trees and help capture open field sites sooner. We also plant an abundance of shrubs that will provide quick dense cover and food for many species of wildlife until the trees get going.

Northeast Iowa is blessed with trout streams. These are the small spring fed streams that have water temperatures cold enough to keep trout alive in the summer months. The water temperature coming out of these springs is generally at 50 degrees. And even after this water flows through miles of stream the water temperature rarely gets above 75 degrees.
