Best year for total trees shipped from Hayward nursery
In spring 1981 the state nursery at Hayward expects a record total of 8.6 million trees and shrubs distributed or shipped by May. Open winter caused some winter injury to spruces and pines though buds remained undamaged. Fishermen in northwestern Wisconsin benefited from a research report noting bluegill dominance in catches and mortality, with half of caught bluegills likely survivors and half doomed by natural causes.
