4,000 Red Spruce Trees Return Home to Roan Mountain

After traveling thousands of miles from Washington state, 4,000 red spruce seedlings found their final home atop Roan Mountain this week, thanks to 60 volunteers working to save one of America's most endangered ecosystems.

The planting marks a major step in restoring the Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Ecosystem, which Hurricane Helene devastated just months ago.
