Over 100 people from the Langevin Science School in Calgary decided that this June it was time to grow their population. Their tree population that is.
By planting 1,575 trees, they not only helped the environment but also drew the interest of the local public with many of those that passed by stopping to ask questions or chat about what the volunteers were doing.
Ernie Yukiw, Majesta’s Western Canadian Sales Manager was on hand, as were City of Calgary employees and several media outlets.
