Cim Hansen said that the lunches help make him “feel better.” Both boys gave similar reasons for appreciating the lunches, stating that they love the social aspect and that the brief and occasional interac- tion with their friends has made quarantine easier. Bloom stressed the need for parents, school district staff and the community to remember the stressful nature of the uncharted territories of quarantine and isolation on not only the youth but also adults. She noted that patience, under— standing and kindness are key to getting through the pandemic as unscathed as possible. from Page 1 ........................ .. .................................................................. .. other riparian areas,”‘ Carter explained.

The district also offers planting supplies, including landscaping fabric, tree protectors and anchor pins. Selling trees and shrubs isn’t all that the resource dis- trict does, Clark explained. “I am also happy to help district members design their conservation planting and provide information on proper species, spacing and windbreak or living snow fence designs,” Clark said. “I can also help Trees for sale Shrubs: caragana, choke- cherry, common lilac, Nanking cherry, red-osier dogwood, golden current Deciduousi5fi‘e6si“btit' oak, I 1 hackberry, Manchurian ' apricot, peachleaf V gnaw: "‘ Peking cotoneaster, native cottonwood, prairie red plum Evergreen trees: Colorado blue spruce, ponderosa pine, Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern red cedar, Douglas fir, Crestwood potted shrubs: buffaloberry, cotoneaster ‘cranberry’, dogwood ‘red twig’, forsythia ‘Meadow Lark’, Mock orange, nine- bark, potentilla, spirea ‘Anthony Waterer’, Spirea ‘Neon Flash‘, Spirea ‘Snowmound' Crestwood potted trees: aspen, chokecherry (Canadian red), crab apple ‘Prairiefire‘, littleleaf Linden, shademaster locust, narrow- leaf cottonwood, willow (golden), Austrian pine them test their soil if there are concerns about soil quality.

Once again, the district will also be offering their Community Tree Grant, Clark said. “This is a 50% cost share up to $500 that assists in planting trees on publicly owned prop— erty,” Clark said. “The city of Upton and the Newcastle Tree Board often take advantage of this cost share to plant more trees in city parks, around ball fields and greenways. This can also be used to plant trees around public buildings such as the library and courthouse. We would love to see this grow and to help plant more trees around the county.” Applications for the grant are due by March 5, while the tree orders are not due until April 2, although Clark said that the earlier you order, the better. “It is a good idea to order early, as many varieties sell out quickly,” Clark said.
