The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority will continue to operate its annual tree planting program this year and is now accepting tree orders for the upcoming planting season. Since 1980, the Authority has assisted rural landowners with ordering trees, tree planting services, and controlling weed competition around newly planted trees.
In the beginning, the SCRCA’s tree planting program focused on restoring forests and habitat on their newly established Conservation Areas with the majority of plantings completed by local volunteers and community groups such as Scouts Canada. In 2021, the Authority celebrated its 60th anniversary with a small event on National Tree Day to celebrate a significant milestone, the planting of 4 million trees throughout the St. Clair Region watershed.
Tree orders are being accepted until March 25th for the 2022 spring planting season. Funding for eligible conservation projects is still available to help offset the costs to landowners.
