Tree Planting Project Winding Down

Saturday, August 27, 2005 03:59 AM

This is one of the last opportunities to take part in ForesTree Fest with tree planting set for Harry Loder Park (10am till noon) and Punchaw Park (noon till 2 p.m.)

Once the events are finished today, those who took part in the events all season can give themselves a pat on the back for having planted 3,000 trees.

if you plan to take part today, wear "sturdy" shoes. The Fores Tree Fest folk will be on hand to give youa hand with planting, and there will be a free concession and water.

That's not the end of the party, on September 10th, there will be a Thank You Celebration at Harper Park . That event starts at noon, with some tree planting, with burgers and cake to follow.

This 2005 program is the first of a three-year planting effort to restore Prince George's urban forests.

BC Hydro sometimes have a regreening program in communties. The idea is to remove problem trees in and around high voltage poweer lines and replace them with a low growing species that will be compatable with the lines.
