Seeking Neighbourhood Tree Captains

Be the inspiration for the neighbourhood – Build a network of like-minded people to assure the continued survival of the trees in the neighbourhood.

The “Neighbourhood Tree Captain” program hopes to fill in these gaps through identifying people willing to champion tree planting in Orchard Park/Sherwood Forest. Training and support will be provided. Time commitment: 1 to 2 hours a week spring and fall

Next Training Date:
– Tuesday, February 4, 6:30 to 9 pm
– 2nd Floor City Hall, Corner of Dufferin and Wellington
