TREE PLANTING

Tree Planting RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO

TREE PLANTING - Doing our bit for the environment - one tree at a time!

We have participated in a number of tree planting activities in the community. While doing so, we have learned quite a bit about tree planting.
We learn about what it takes to plant a tree or shrub well so that it will survive. We also learn about native species.
