10 000 Trees for the Rouge

Planning preparation and execution of large public plantings of trees shrubs and wild flowers in public parks and protected lands. Several hundred volunteers of all ages participated in completing the plantings under the direction of the organizing committee of 10 000 Trees for the Rouge. The plantings were funded by corporate and private donations and by financial support from the Government land owner of the planting site. In addition we continued a program of watering of the plants on the new site and maintenance of previous planting sites. We continued our work with Rouge National Urban Park to rehabilitate areas of the park. Once again we also completed several smaller plantings to in-fill areas of low survival in previous plantings and to add to areas too small for a regular large planting.
