Volunteers from the Woodsy Owl Conservation Corp, Lone Star College-Montgomery students and Texas Master Naturalists participated in a Pollinator Planting Party at WG Jones State Forest. Over 90 pollinator fruit tree species were planted in containers. The pollinator wildflower area was seeded. The trees and seeds are part of a NEEFUSA grant to connect gardens and communities.

Besides pulling out non-habitat plants, they learned how to properly prune tree species with the way station location.
