We

Despite short notice, ourlub assisted the St. Clair

Conservation Authority andTown in planting over 200rees to reduce erosiondjacent to the creek flowingnto the Sydenham River in

Alexandra Park on September5th.

Bryce, a grade 12 student and

he 17 year old son of

prospective member Tanya

Walker, came out to assist on

eptember 21st but the

planting was postponed

rising from the flooding of

he park from very heavy

ainfall the previous night.

The trees included Maples,

Sumac, Willow and other

species said Jessica Van Zwol

of the Conservation Authority.

Andrew Meyer, Manager,

Community Development,

from the Town helped

supervise and said they expect

a donation of more trees for

planting early next May.

Our club should seriously

consider buying into future

tree plantings as this is a Lions

International goal and we

have many environmental

conscious members.

Alexandra Park - Tree PlantingA heavy rainstorm reinforced the reason for planting more trees,

and the crew got to work!
