Those oak trees we planted at the Willow Creek restoration downstream of the confluence with Smith Hollow are flourishing. Here are photos of the same swamp white oak from last and this year. We may have tired of the rain this year but not the oaks. Thanks to Lloyd Meng and Justin Haglund of the DNR who led the restoration and the tree planting. BTW, all aspects of the restoration are in great shape. – Topf Wells
