ERCA HOSTS TREE PLANTING & CARE WORKSHOP MARCH 7

The Essex Region Conservation Authority will host a free tree planting and care workshop on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the Essex County Civic Centre.

This dynamic workshop will discuss ways in which you can get involved in the reforestation of the region.  “

This workshop will explore different tree planting techniques, tree health, tree physiology, and the best ways to care for your future forests or special shade trees,” explains Paul Giroux, ERCA’s Registered Professional Forester and Certified Arbourist.  “As well, people will learn about the environmental benefits of tree planting.” 

The workshop will also identify the many grant opportunities available to landowners who wish to undertake restoration projects on their property. 

ERCA is also currently accepting orders for their spring tree planting program.  The cost of seedling trees begins at 69 cents, while prices for large stock trees begin at $12.  A minimum purchase of 100 seedlings or 15 large stock trees is required.  Order forms are available online at www.erca.org.

Although the workshop is free, landowners are asked to pre-register by calling (519) 776-5209 ext. 345 or vkennedy@erca.org.

Deb's Place Celebrates Family Day Feb 20, 2012!

Deb's Place Family Restaurant is having a Family Day Fundraiser on February 20 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. They'll be selling Broaster® chicken dinners with the proceeds going to Special Olympics Windsor. All money will stay here in the area.



A 3-piece dinner comes with choice of potato, coleslaw or garden salad, rolls, beverage and dessert for $15.


A 15-piece family dinner for four is also available for $40 with choice of potato, coleslaw or garden salad, rolls, beverage and dessert.


Co-owner Paul Boulos is also delighted with the response from his staff for the day. "We have wonderful staff here donating their time to a good cause," says Paul.


Deb's Place, in business for over 20 years, has been serving Broaster® chicken for more than a year now. With the Broaster® method of cooking, moisture and natural juices are sealed within the product, preventing the penetration of cooking oil. Foods cooked in a Broaster® are much more tender, juicy and flavourful.


Patrons can eat in or take out chicken on Feb. 20 and every day. Call ahead to order at 519-969-7080.


Deb's Place is located in Yorktown Square at 1387 Grand Marais W. at Dominion Boulevard. Famous for their breakfast special, they also server supper Wednesday to Friday.
