Powerful

 A group of people working together to plant I'm not sure how many seedlings: 

This is a contribution to a restoration project on a former pine plantation, which is now part of the Clarkesdale Bird Sanctuary. 
We got them planted before lunch, then in the afternoon took a walk through parts of the property.

Highlight of the day was my first ever sighting of a powerful owl!
