Plant Trees with NVCA in Mono

Come out to help plant native trees and shrubs on Mono Centre Creek! Planting trees will help enhance fish and wildlife habitat, shade the stream, reduce erosion, and capture carbon!

What to Expect

· An orientation and tree planting tutorial

• This event will take place rain or shine but will be rescheduled if there is extreme weather
• A short hike (10 minutes) is required to access the site, so bringing all necessary personal items (food, water, extra clothing layers) from your vehicles is recommended
• This is a moderately physically demanding project involving hiking, lifting, and shoveling and walking on uneven surfaces

· This event will take place rain or shine but will be rescheduled if there is extreme weather.

Remember to Bring

· Gardening/work gloves (Extra gloves available)

· Closed toed shoes/rubber boots (Spring is muddy!)

· Sunscreen and bug spray

Be Tick Aware

· Wear light-coloured clothing to make ticks easier to spot.

· Wear long-sleeve shirts, pants, and closed-toe footwear. Tuck your shirt into your pants and tuck your pants into your socks. This can help prevent ticks from crawling onto your skin where they can feed.

· Permethrin-treated clothing may provide protection against ticks and mosquitoes.

· Visit the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit's website for more information
