NEW TREES IN REALTY PARK

It was a perfect day for tree planting and to celebrate Earth Week!  Students from Our Lady of Fatima School arrived ready to help plant 10 new trees in Realty Park.  Each tree is different and native to our area (a part of the Carolinian Forest).  Many thanks to The Friends volunteers who came bright and early to prepare the holes for planting and to City staff for the early morning tree delivery!  Olivia Groff of Landcare Niagara introduced each tree to the students, describing how each tree will help wildlife as well as increasing the tree canopy to make a healthier place to live!  Landcare Niagara has generously donated a total of  32 Native trees in the past 3 years to parks along Walker’s Creek.  THANK YOU LANDCARE NIAGARA 32 TIMES!
