The North Wellington OPP Operations Centre in Teviotdale now has a living snow fence and wind break.
Close to 100 County of Wellington and Town of Minto councillors, employees and their families took part in the annual Warden’s Tree Planting Day on Friday. Over 500 trees were planted.
This year, the County will plant 163,000 trees in Wellington with the help of local municipalities, schools, conservation authorities, service clubs, organizations and private landowners.
The international award-winning Green Legacy Programme is the largest municipal tree planting program in North America. Over 2-million trees have been planted since the program’s inception in 2004.
"This living snow fence is a great example of multiple partnerships working together to improve the environment," says Warden George Bridge. "Without the support of our partners, the Green Legacy Programme would not be possible."
Order forms for the 2017 Green Legacy Programme are now available on www.wellington.ca
