What says community better than planting for the future?
With that in mind, the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is planning a community planting party on August 23 and 24.
“Over the past few years our stewardship team has been hard at work on a restorative planting plan,” the organization notes.
“We targeted the removal of invasive species like buckthorn and honeysuckle that have taken over our trails.”
The centre says it now needs the community’s help to refill these spaces with native species.
“The overall goal of this restoration project is to return our ecosystem to a healthy, functional state where native species thrive and natural processes are self-sustaining.”
The organization hopes to plant more than 500 saplings, such as nannyberry, elderberry, black cherry, yellow birch during the event with participants also receiving a free lunch.
