Bayview Slope Restoration 11/8 Overview

We had our 5th restoration event of the season at Newport Backbay on Sunday 11/8 and planted 100 shrubs!  We planted a few new species this time including Laurel Sumac (Malosma laurina) and Lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia).  These soon-to-be big shrubs will make great habitat for nesting birds and birds also love to eat the Lemonadeberry berries.  All the shrubs we've planted so far look healthy, but we could really use some rain!
