Description:

The Nature Trust of New Brunswick, TD Bank, and Maritime College of Forest Technology (MCFT) were pleased to host a tree planting workshop with 60 volunteers from the Fredericton area, including TD employees and their families, a group of cadets, and MCFT alumni, staff, and students. Over 250 trees were planted, many of which had been donated by the Canadian Forest Service.  The 36+ hectare site was unique for a TD Tree Days event as understory planting occurred, to introduce more long-lived native species, such as burr oak and red oak, back onto the property.  The group was introduced to concepts of forest ecology, and got to hike the trees out to various areas in the forest with guidance from MCFT students, then came the satisfaction of dirt under fingernails, and seedlings taking root.   Tree tubes were then added around the small oaks, acting as mini-greenhouses, and protecting the trees from browsing of wildlife.  MCFT students will work to monitor the newly planted trees over the long-term.

Thanks to the wonderful volunteers and partners for making this tree-planting day a success!
