This week is National Forest Week in Canada, which is marked by dozens of tree-planting activities across the country. It’s a great opportunity for people of all ages and walks of life to make a tangible difference in their community. Locally, Let’s Tree Wilmot (LTW) is hosting a community tree-planting event in the afternoon on Sept. 28. In partnership with Tri-County Mennonite Homes, LTW is working to enhance the habitat of approximately 35 acres of floodplain behind the Nithview Seniors Community in New Hamburg. Volunteers will plant several hundred native trees there.
For more information about Saturday’s project or to volunteer, visit www.letstreewilmot.ca. It’s a tree-rific reason to get outside this fall.
This is the second LTW event this fall. On Sept. 14, volunteers planted trees at Foundry Park in Baden and Fairmount Cemetery. Another planting project is scheduled for the Haysville Community Centre on Oct. 26.
