Tree Protection and Wrapping Event

Tree Wrapping at Lot P (McMaster Campus)
12-2pm

At this event, we will be wrapping ~120 of our beautiful native trees with wire to protect them from deer predation over the winter. This will help to save our lovely forest and help to expand the Eco-Corridor along Ancaster Creek. Thank you for joining Nature at McMaster in our restoration efforts!

We provide all the tools - wire, t-posts, gardening gloves (although you are welcome to bring your own), and zip ties.

We will be meeting at Parking Lot P at 12pm, and will be wrapping trees from 12-2pm.

-Comfortable, closed-toe, durable shoes (mud proof if you have any)

-Long pants and long socks
