SNC Planting a Record 230,000 Trees this Spring
Submitted by K Smith on Wed, 12/05/2021 - 2:31pmSouth Nation Conservation (SNC) is helping to plant over 230,000 native trees and shrubs throughout its watershed jurisdiction this spring.
This will mark the most trees planted by SNC in a year; the previous record dates to 1993 when 193,000 trees were planted by the Conservation Authority, and the average amount of trees typically planted annually by SNC is about 150,000.
Public interest in conserving forest cover, along with people spending more time at home, and outdoors, during the Pandemic may have helped contribute to record tree orders.
