Earth Day: Pawpaw tree planting
April 22, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Earth Day, April 22, group start times at 9:40 a.m. and 10:40 a.m.
Outdoor Classroom, Daniel J. Patterson Campus
On-site contacts: Student Ambassadors Akira Ourique and Lindsay Taylor.
Join NC’s Pawpaw tree-planting event at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The event was organized by NC’s Sustainability Student Ambassadors, supported by the Sustainability Action Fund Micro-grant program.
Forty-three Pawpaw trees will be planted on campus, in the wetlands area. The rare small trees native to Southern Ontario are a significant species, noted Wilkinson, and the new plantings will add to the small number that are currently on campus.
In addition to tree planting, windbreaks will be constructed – which will require some lifting from volunteers. Environmental and Horticulture students will be involved with this initiative.
The planting event will begin at 9:30 a.m. when the first volunteer group begins prepping the first site and installing windbreaks. A second volunteer group will begin at 10:40 a.m. to assist and begin planting.
Everyone is welcome and advance registration is not required. Meet the volunteers at the Outdoor Classroom, which is located near the lagoons along the Wetland Ridge trail.
