MARQUETTE -- On Saturday, The Cedar Tree Institute launched The Manitou Project: a planting of 10,000 trees across the Upper Peninsula. <\/p>\n
It's a collaborative effort to plant Northern White Cedar Trees in a period of three weeks. A special ceremony was held Saturday morning at the Moosewood Nature Center. The cedar is considered a medicinal tree among Native Americans. <\/p>\n
Saturday was one of three seedling distribution days. <\/p>\n
\"All these trees that are replanted are commercially viable, and the White Cedar is not one of those, the White Cedar takes a long time to grow, isn't commercially viable and just helps reintroduce the eco-system the way it was originally meant to be,\" said volunteer Don Miller. <\/p>\n
The 10,000th tree will be planted on July 7 at the Presque Isle Pavillion. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
