Another successful tree planting season with the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority.
Around 28,000 trees and shrubs were planted and distributed across the watershed.
More than 30 landowners took advantage of the planting services helping to create wildlife habitat, reduce soil erosion and establish recreational opportunities.
Cooler temperatures in April and May proved ideal for planting with 650 hardwoods and 750 planted shrubs and balled and burlap conifer trees were hand-planted under the Private Lands Large Stock Program.
