Where: Cows in WG-8; Yearlings in EG-12. Both groups moved to new splits. Checked out riparian shrub planting along creek in EG-12. Three willows and 26 buffalo berry plants are thriving. Need to build on this success. Maybe explore the “Tiny Forest’ concept being applied around the country where one plants a small dense diverse stand that helps to protect the shrubs and trees.
