Tree Planting Along the Banks of Medway Creek
Event date: November 9, 2012
Location: Birr, Ontario
Ontario is helping community members and students in London protect Medway Creek through the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund.
The Friends of Medway Creek and students from Holy Cross School are planting native trees, shrubs, and seedlings help reduce erosion and improve the water quality and fish habitat in Medway Creek, which ultimately flows into the Great Lakes.
The grants help grassroots community groups, non-profit organizations and First Nations and Métis communities restore the lakes through local projects such as cleaning up shorelines and protecting and restoring wetlands.
Protecting and restoring the Great Lakes is part of the McGuinty government's plan to enhance quality of life for Ontario families and ensure a strong, green economy for future generations.
