The Junction Creek Stewardship Committee invites the community to a tree-planting event on Oct. 18.
“Help us bring new life to Junction Creek!” the committee said in a news release. “By planting trees, you’ll be restoring shoreline habitat, creating healthier waters, supporting local wildlife, mitigating climate change, building a more resilient community, and making our trails more vibrant for everyone.”
The event will be held from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday at the Garson trails along the creek by the Orell Street public library branch.
After an opening ceremony and a craft activity for children, volunteers will plant 150 native trees and shrubs. Gloves and shovels will be provided, as will snacks and refreshments.
The event is part of TD Tree Days, which falls under TD Friends of the Environment.
Volunteers are also needed to assist with event preparation. Email [email protected] or phone 705-525-8736 to help with that.
