Partners organize tree planting

The Tree Society of Creemore and the Friends of the Mad River have joined with the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and will be planting trees in the area on Saturday, May 7 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Come out to help plant native trees and shrubs along the banks of Temperance Creek in Clearview Township. Trees will help enhance fish and wildlife habitat, shade the stream, stabilize the banks and capture carbon! There will be an orientation and tree planting tutorial and a Portable toilet on site.

This event will take place rain or shine but will be rescheduled if there is extreme weather.

Remember to bring closed toed shoes/rubber boots, work gloves, weather appropriate clothes, sunscreen and bug spray, a lunch, water and snacks.

Meet at 2233 Concession Rd. 6. Parking is limited so please consider carpooling or biking the seven kilometres from Creemore.

Individuals, families and community groups are welcome! Students should remember to bring their community service volunteer forms to be signed.
