Kids celebrate National Tree Day with planting at Barrie school

Northshore Tree Experts sponsored a tree planting at Barrie’s Oakley Park Public School on National Tree Day, which is the third Wednesday of September (Sept. 23).

In the name of sustainability, Northshore provides up to one tree per property where it has removed a tree of at least 30 centimetres in diameter. Trees from clients who do not wish to plant them on their property are automatically donated to be planted elsewhere in Simcoe County. As a result, the students at Oakley Park had seven new trees planted in their school yard, and were able to watch, help and learn about tree planting and the importance of trees.

Gibson Digital Print Design and Sign, North Line Industries and Stephenson’s Rental also donated their services to make the day complete.
