Spring is upon us, and so is Earth Day, bringing about a new growing season.
Sustainable Orangeville and Credit Valley Conservation are partnering to plant trees around Orangeville.
The event will plant native trees and shrubs along Mill Creek Trail off Hunter Road in Orangeville.
“Sustainable Orangeville is pleased to partner with the CVC in this great annual Earth Day initiative,” said Orangeville councillor Tess Prendergast. “Planing more trees is a simple way to help strengthen our environment and has many incredible benefits. It’s also a great family activity. We hope to see many of our residents out for this event.”
Interested participants are encouraged to register by Thursday, Apr. 20, to take part in this free event.
If you would like to be a part of this event, make sure to dress for the weather, including long pants, socks, and closed-toed shoes.
You should bring your own reusable water bottle, as there will be a water supply to refill if you run out. Attendees are advised to bring sunscreen, bug spray and a hat.
Please note that washroom facilities may or may not be available.
The event will take place on Saturday, Apr. 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Participants are asked to meet at the trail access next to 91 Hunter Road.
