19 As part of the annual Arbor Day observance, Fort McCoy community members planted 400 red pines April 30 near Pine View Campground at the installation. Child Development Center students and parents joined in on the event, learning how to properly plant trees and about the importance of planting trees. The Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch coordinated the event. Forester Charles Mentzel said the new trees, along with another 4,600 planted earlier by Wisconsin Challenge Academy cadets, will be a nice addition to the campground. “These trees will aid the campground with a visual screen, blocking wind and reducing noise for many years to come,” Mentzel said.
