Planting Trees at Himalayan Acres
January 8, 2013Recently some of the monks and task forcers worked to plant over 300 hardwood trees. These are all mahogany and were more than ready to go in the ground. It was a beautiful day full of sun and periodic Kauai showers, making for plenty of rainbows.
We started by loading the 300 trees into the trailer to bring over to Himalayan Acres for planting

Adi has fun with rainbows
Here, Doug uses the tractor to dig holes for the thousands of trees which are to be planted
These are the first three rows to be done
Doug was recently hired to help at the acres as he has invaluable skills with tractors and machine repair.
It was very meditave work to be planting trees all morning
Here they are, all planted
One can just barely see Iraivan through the trees.
Each member of our team planted a whole row. Roughly a hundred trees per row.
