We're planting 278 trees from Conservation Dr to Sandbanks Cres! Trees will be a mix of understory and large shade trees. Most trees will be native to the area, but some non-invasive non-native trees will be used in the toughest growing locations.

Planting will take place in mid to late September and is expected to last from 5 to 7 days.

The trees will be planted:

• Along the boulevard on Conservation Dr to help shade the sidewalk and provide a connected canopy for pollinators.
• By the east side of the soccer field, which will help shade the area and absorb water in this wet area.
• Following the pathways extending away from the soccer fields, in the green spaces on either side of the path.
