The Quinte Field Naturalists (QFN) and Rotary, in partnership with Tree Canada, Belleville Home Building Centre & Bayview Home Hardware, is planning a 2 day fall planting event at Clifford Sonny Belch Park. The public planting events are scheduled for Friday October 25 and Saturday October 26, 9am to Noon. Volunteers are encouraged to attend.
With generous help from Picture Perfect Landscaping Quinte Ltd., organizers aim to plant over 200 trees and shrubs in the park.
The goal of the fall planting event at Clifford Sonny Belch Park is to soften recreational areas and to connect existing evergreen corridors. The area is already known to support a number of wildlife species and QFN considers this event an opportunity to improve habitat and food sources for area birds and wildlife.
Planting volunteers are encouraged to sign up by contacting gregPparsons@gmail.com.
The Quinte Field Naturalists is an incorporated non-profit organization affiliated with Ontario Nature. Anyone interested in nature and wildlife is encouraged to join.
