Let’s Tree Wilmot: May the Forest be With You

Let’s Tree Wilmot (LTW), a project of Garden Wilmot, enjoyed a beautiful, sunny morning May 4 planting trees at Riverside Park in New Hamburg. The theme was, “May the Forest be with you.” Fifty volunteers comprising members of Zion United Church’s Youth Group, LTW volunteers, community members from Wilmot and Kitchener and local MP Tim Louis helped plant and spread mulch for 165 native trees to increase the local tree canopy. Hardware cloth was installed on the trees close to the Nith River to discourage hungry beavers from nibbling on the new trees. LTW will be watering the trees when needed for two years and monitoring their health. For more information about Let’s Tree Wilmot and to join in the group’s efforts, visit letstreewilmot.ca.
