On May 23, 2013, 19 tree planters representing individual volunteers, the Student Conservation Association, School on the Prairie from Holmen, Wis., U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Section of the Corps of Engineers, converged on Little Hoot Island on the Mississippi River in Pool 8 near Brownsville, Minn., to plant 750 tree and shrub seedlings. This project was the culmination of several years of planning and construction on the EMP Pool 8 Islands Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Project. These flood-tolerant seedlings will grow to provide erosion protection and wildlife habitat on the island. Nearly 7,000 additional tree and shrub seedlings will be planted this spring by a local contractor, bringing this latest phase of new island forestation to nearly 15 acres.
