National Forest Week: Acton Community Tree Planting
September 26 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Help Plant Native Trees and Shrubs in Acton
Join us in celebrating National Forest Week the right way - by planting trees. Forest are fundamental to our economy, culture, traditions, history and to our future!
Together, we will plant native trees and shrubs in Sir Donald Mann Park. Trees help fight climate change by storing carbon dioxide and providing natural cooling on hot summer days. They also create habitat for local wildlife and add beauty to your community.
Help make the Acton SNAP neighbourhood more sustainable and ready for a changing climate. This event is part of Acton Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP).
