400 Trees and Counting

Landmark 28 (Help Something Damaged)

The class worked with ORCA to plant approximately 400 trees as part of the Selwyn Aggregate pit rehabilitation project. Red pine, white pine, white spruce and cedar were planted and then mulched for moisture retention. The trees will generate biodiversity, sequester carbon and rehabilitate the soil. ORCA’s Meredith did a wonderful job getting everything organized and Paul led the tree planting 101 session.
Nothing quite so nourishing for the soul than planting a tree … or 400 🙂
