Last Autumn, The Community Festival provided $1,000 to fund
the planting of dozens of trees in Iuka Park, between Summit St. & North
4th. Several species, including paw paw, ironwood, beech, tupelo, &
swamp white oak were planted. The work has been done in conjunction with
the Iuka Ravine Association, and currently includes added mulching and
chicken wire surrounds. ComFest regulars Maynard G Krebs (dubbed
"The Ranger of Iuka Ravine" by an area neighbor) and Bill Winkle are
seeing to the latest efforts. If you'd like to help them care for young
trees, contact: billwinkle1@hotmail.com and use
