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.
