Quinte Field Naturalists (QFN) and Rotary Club of Belleville are encouraging volunteers to join them for a two-day fall planting event at Clifford Sonny Belch Park.
The public planting events, being held in partnership with Tree Canada, Belleville Home Building Centre & Bayview Home Hardware and Picture Perfect Landscaping Quinte Ltd., are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Organizers aim to plant over 200 trees and shrubs in the park to soften recreational areas and to connect existing evergreen corridors.
The area is already known to support a number of wildlife species and QFN considers this event an opportunity to improve habitat and food sources for area birds and wildlife.
Planting volunteers are asked sign up by contacting gregPparsons@gmail.com.
