Volunteers needed at Glenorchy Residents can help plant more than 400 native trees and shrubs at Glenorchy Conservation Area on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to help improve the health of the watershed. Forty volunteers are required by Conservation Halton and the Field and Stream Rescue Team to plant these trees and shrubs along the banks of Fourteen Mile Creek to create a riparian corridor -- a plant community that consists of vegetation growing near a natural body of water. Volunteers are asked to prepare for the weather, wear hiking or work boots and bring water. "This tree planting is an important component of the ongoing restoration work taking place in Glenorchy Conservation Area," said Jeff Stock of Conservation Halton (CH). "We're happy we can support Conservation Halton as they expand and protect this natural area in north Oakville," said Dave Hulsman, of the Field and Stream Rescue Team. Glenorchy Conservation Area is bounded by Regional Road 25, Highway 407, Neyagawa Boulevard and Dundas Street in north Oakville. Ontario's Great Lake Guardian Community Fund has provided financial support for the project.
