This project planted 675 trees and shelters on 2.01 acres of riparian land along an unnamed tributary of Doe Run in West Marlborough Township, Pa. The project was designed to test the long-term effectiveness of two types of tree shelters (Combitube, Tubex) on growth and survivorship of nine species of trees.
