Kawartha Conservation Partners With TD For Community Tree Planting Event

KAWARTHA LAKES-Kawartha Conservation is working with TD to deliver another TD Tree Days community tree planting event on Sunday, September 28 at Windy Ridge Conservation Area.

TD Tree Days events are hosted by local not-for-profits, municipalities, and Indigenous groups that specialize in environmental stewardship. They provide the planting stock and prepare the site.

When you arrive on site, you will check-in with your Site Leader(s) and/or Planting Coordinator(s) and receive your gardening gloves. The event itself will begin with a welcome from the Site Leader and a planting demonstration. Event duration times vary from approximately 1.5 – 3 hours, and volunteers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time to check-in.

Volunteers need to be prepared for physical activity including digging, lifting, and planting, and may be asked to do other planting activities such as mulching, securing mulch mats, placing tree guards, and watering. You will have access to drinking water at the event, and we recommend that you bring a refillable water bottle to reduce waste.

Where to meet

Volunteers will park in the main parking lot at Windy Ridge Conservation Area. Upon parking, please proceed to the gazebo directly east of the parking lot to check in. The planting area is an open field abutting the south boundary of the parking lot, and can be accessed on foot from the parking lot.

Tools: We will have some shovels on site but there may not be enough for every volunteer. Please bring a gardening shovel with you if you have one.
