Description
Come help the BTC and Dufferin Hi-Land Bruce Trail Club plant American Chestnut trees at our Russel property! The BTC is working with the Canadian Chestnut Council to preserve this endangered species by planting potentially resistant American Chestnut seedlings on BTC protected areas along the Niagara Escarpment.
Registration is optional but recommended so that we can keep you up to date on any event changes.
You can be a part of this effort by helping us plant 120 of these trees on the Russel property in the Dufferin Hi-Land section. Bring gardening/work gloves and a shovel if you have one. Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes, dress for the weather and bring water and sun protection. No experience necessary - training will be provided!
