Tree Planting Workday
May 4th, 2008
|
|
The Ted Knott Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada, with assistance from Conservation Halton and volunteers from
GE Water & Process Technologies, organized a tree planting day to
improve the riparian cover along a section of Bronte Creek near Concession 11 East in
Flamborough.

|
The site has previously been restored from an online pond
which was filled in several years ago. The lack of vegetation along the
bank allows direct sunlight on the creek causing significant warming in
the summer months.
|
|
|
|
|
Shrubs planted along the creek bank will quickly provide
some shade, while trees planted farther up the bank will take much longer
to block the warm sunlight.

Thanks to the many volunteers who came out on this sunny
May morning to help!
