‘Over the past few years our stewardship team has been hard at work on a restorative planting plan,’ organization notes. ‘We targeted the removal of invasive species like buckthorn and honeysuckle’<\/p>\n
What says community better than planting for the future?<\/p>\n
With that in mind, the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is planning a community planting party on August 23 and 24.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past few years our stewardship team has been hard at work on a restorative planting plan,\u201d the organization notes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe targeted the removal of invasive species like buckthorn and honeysuckle that have taken over our trails.\u201d<\/p>\n
The centre says it now needs the community\u2019s help to refill these spaces with native species.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
