Climate Change Committee plants 3000 trees along Lamont Road in Merigomish

Approximately 3,000 trees were planted at the Lamont Road site; the rest were distributed to interested landowners and made available to the public.

“There was a good turnout of volunteers from ages 2 to 72,” said Tree Planting subcommittee chair David Parker. He added that it was a great success and that the committee was thankful that the property owner, Paul Daniels, allowed them to plant the trees on his land.More action, less story needed to mitigate climate change, Nova Scotia MLA tells committee

Parker said it was also nice to see young children involved and being taught to give back to their community. “It shows that we can do things to help alleviate climate change,” he said. “That’s our main goal: to get more people planting trees.”The Climate Change Committee's softwood planting has become an annual tradition and is expected to continue in the coming years. The Committee will also distribute hardwood saplings during the fall.It has been our privilege to have the trust and support of our East Coast communities for the last 200 years.
