It was a beautiful, sunny day in Sussex for one of the biggest Trees by the Shore tree planting events to date. Tree Canada President, Michael Rosen and President of Irving Consumer Products, Robert Irving assisted over one hundred volunteers in planting roughly 1,600 trees in an outstanding community effort to help restore the riparian areas along the Kenebecasis River.
“Along with offering shade to the river and therefore luring species of fish that need cold water, the trees will also help slow down the erosion that is happening along the river banks.” said Michael Rosen. He said the roots of the trees bind the soil together and discourages erosion.
