Description
RIVER BIRCH (BETULA NIGRA)
A tree with lots of texture and interest in the bark. Yellowish bark curls and peels from the trunk. As a result, this is a frequently-used landscaping plant. Often grows in multi-trunk specimen. River birch has a pyramidal to oval shape. Foliage is shinny green in summer, turning yellow in fall. Native from Minnesota to Florida. Moderate to fast growth rate. Prefers moist soils but tolerates dry soils. Prefers rich soils. Mature height will reach 40-70 feet and have width of 30-50 feet. FULL SUN.
One of our conservation technicians got to speak with KBEK about their work. Todd Kulaf discussed the Isanti SWCD and his conservation project at Spectacle Lake. Thank you to KBEK for talking to us! If you missed it you can listen to it here.
2023 was a busy year for Isanti SWCD. Click here to read all about our most recent Conservation programs and priorities. We would like to send out a special thank you to all our Federal, State, and Local partners who support our mission to preserve, protect, and enhance water quality, soil, and other natural resources in Isanti County. We’re already planning great things for 2024, including having a new no-till drill and a tree planter available to rent, starting an Isanti County farmer-led group, lakeshore restorations on Green Lake and Skogman Lake, and having the final alum treatment on Blue Lake.
Do you have a child at home? We have a fun environmental education activity for them!!
We recently worked with CLIMB Theater to develop an online class and a quiz targeted at elementary students. The goal of the class is to help explain what Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are, how they negatively affect our lakes and how they can help control them.
The password protected site includes a quiz, teacher & parent survey, teacher's guide and the support material for interacting with the video.
