Go Green Centennial Forest Peninsula planted 100 trees in April, 2009. Birch and spruce trees were planted near the Nature Center. The Gibraltar School Ecology Club also planted a dozen centennial trees near the school. Look for metal tags marking these trees. Thanks to DNR Forester Bill Ruff, the WI State Nursery and the Peninsula Research Station for assistance.
