There is an upcoming winter speaker event co-hosted by the Friends of the Salmon River and Friends of the Napanee River. The upcoming online webinar will highlight the Tree Planting with the 50 Million Tree Program, on January 11 at 7 pm.
The 50 Million Tree Program was inspired by global efforts to plant billions of trees worldwide each year. Forests Ontario has planted more than 34 million trees through the program, producing over 17,000 hectares of new forest.
The event will feature Jim Hendry who will outline the 50 million tree program and Steve Pitt who will describe his tree planting work in our area.
If you are a landowner, what are your goals for your land? If you wish to improve wildlife habitat, connect forests to create larger natural corridors, create recreational opportunities, or leave a legacy for future generations – this program is right up your alley. Landowners with the space to plant a minimum of 500 trees (about 0.5 hectares) may qualify for the program.
This is the third event in the online Winter Speaker Series co-hosted by Friends of the Salmon River and Friends of the Napanee River. To register at no charge, please visit www.friendsofsalmonriver.ca or contact susan@moorepartners.ca
