The Essex Region Conservation Authority is holding an Earth Day Tree Planting Celebration in Windsor.

The event will take place on Sunday, April 23rd, at the green space located off Wyandotte and Florence. Opening ceremonies will begin at 10:00am, with the planting of 1,800 trees to follow. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own shovels, if possible. There will be a limited supply of tree-planting tools available to share.

“ENWIN is proud supporter of ERCA and their environmental initiatives as it aligns with our mission of providing electricity and drinking water in a sustainable manner,” said Garry Rossi, President and CEO of ENWIN Utilities Ltd. “The tree planting event is not only a celebration of Earth Day but an example of people working together for the betterment of our community. I would like to thank the Essex Region Conservation Authority for including us in this fantastic program, as I look forward to our partnership for years to come.”

Parking is available at Riverside Kiwanis Park/Pump Track parking lot, McHugh Park parking lot and various public parking lots along Riverside Drive East. Use the Ganatchio Trail system to arrive at the Earth Day site.

Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to sign up as a Green Team to receive a certificate of participation. Green Teams can sign up until April 15th at https://essexregionconservation.ca/earthdaytrees.
