Once the trees are planted, the areas will be left to naturalize.The benefits of planting at this event are as follows:- Robinson Creek is a tributary of the Rouge River in central Markham, upstream from Rouge National Urban Park.- The park in Milne Dam is on the Rouge River. The trees will absorb & store carbon & water to combat costly climate change & flooding damages.- The trees will improve human health by removing / filtering-out air and water pollutants.- Enhance public parklands to provide shade and encourage healthy outdoor recreation & relaxation opportunities.- Improve terrestrial habitat quantity & connectivity to support species at risk, biodiversity and ecological integrity.- Improve habitat for trout, salmon and red side dace (Species at Risk) and aquatic lifeThe species being planted are all non invasive, native plantsFree Food:This is a catered event!
