The native butternut is an endangered tree in Canada. Near Ottawa this past spring there were 2,500 butternut seedlings planted as part of the ongoing Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Butternut Recovery Planting Program. Our youth planted 11 seedlings at the Macoun Marsh in Ottawa, Canada. Most are doing quite well, but a few have died. We think the soil was too clay-like for the trees that did not produce leaves.
