New Seedlings in Saskatoon

Just outside of Saskatoon in Chappell Marsh, something special took place on June 9th. Students and volunteers from the surrounding community joined MAJESTA and Tree Canada during a Trees by the Shore tree planting event to plant over 1,100 trees, helping develop the riparian areas. As well, the students from Hugh Cairns V.C. Public School received an extended lesson on the importance of biodiversity in our environment, and even had a chance to build their very own birdhouses.

Special thanks to Ducks Unlimited, the University of Saskatchewan Centre for Continuing & Distance Education, and TD Canada Trust for dedicating their time and effort to this great cause.
