Volunteers and community members planted hundreds of trees at Lemoine Point in Kingston, Ont. on Saturday, one of the city’s most popular walking trails.
As their shovel digs down, it is a new experience for 10-year-old Mia and her 11-year-old cousin Tiago, who are planting their very first tree.
They have joined the more than 50 community members, pulling up their sleeves, and the dirt, to get more than 350 trees in the ground. The fall event has happened almost every year for two decades, though a partnership with the Cataraqui Conservation Authority and the Friends of Lemoine Point. "Unfortunately there are a number of pests and diseases that have taken its toll on the forest," she says. "So there is a need to replace trees and regenerate the forest."
