Volunteers help establish trees and shrubs at King and John park

Volunteers mulched on Oct. 23, 2021, after weeding in mid-August and mid-September to remove invasive weeds and aggressive grasses in order to give the new plantings a chance to get established.

In October 2020, volunteers had planted 450 native plants and shrubs as a riparian planting along One Mile Creek. An assessment this summer by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority that there was a 90% survival rate for the plantings – better than the 70% target.
