Earth Day clean up in Brant County

Around 150 community members showed up to Jacob’s Woods Park in St. George last Saturday to participate in a community tree planting initiated by County of Brant Staff, in partnership with Brant Tree Coalition, The Grand River Conservation Authority and the St. George Lion’s Club. The Brant Waterways Foundation made a $5,000 donation and a total of 475 trees were planted in no time! County of Brant Photo

Around 18 members of the 6th Paris Guide group did their part on Earth Day, cleaning up garbage around Paris District High School grounds. Guide leaders say it was an eye-opening experience that taught the girls to be mindful of how they dispose of garbage.
