Riparian Buffer Zone Planting听at Thamesford Lions River Park
On Sunday, November 2, the 糖心直播 (UTRCA) supported a planting of 52 native trees and shrubs in Lions River Park with the Thamesford Lions, Kintore-Thamesford Scouts, and community members. Tree species planted included Swamp White Oak, Burr Oak, Tulip, Red Maple, Sycamore, and White Cedar, and shrubs included Nannyberry, Serviceberry, and Red Osier Dogwood. 听
The event included a free BBQ, hosted by the Thamesford Lions, to thank UTRCA staff, the Scouts, Zorra Township, fellow Lions members, and community participants.听
The plantings were made possible through an EcoAction Funding Stream from the Canada Water Agency. The plantings are part of an ongoing partnership with the Thamesford Lions to create a naturalized buffer zone along the Middle Thames in River Park which incorporates capstone viewing areas and fishing steps so that community members can have access to the river.听
