The 'road' less traveled

One of the idiosyncrasies of where we live and work is that there is no road access. We  move a lot of material by boat and sled, depending on the season. Normally, spring high water allows us use of a power boat for a few weeks, but this year the river has stayed low. We are in getting in shape with all of the paddling! This week we also moved some trees - 12,000 very small birch seedlings grown for Forestry - by helicopter. Thanks to Josh, Jonathan and Alex for helping us test out our landing site and proving that travel by air is indeed a viable option for delivering our trees.
