Several new trees have been planted at the Resource Recovery Centre for an ongoing initiative.
That comes from the qathet Regional District, saying they got up to $7,500 from BC Hydro to plant trees at the Centre’s green space in April. The money comes from Hydro’s Community ReGreening Program, which supports tree planting projects across the province.
After getting the money, district Operations Department staff bought and planted the trees in May, with the species, sizes and planting locations all determined by public works labourer and certified arborist Alex Mitchell.
District Board Chair Clay Brander thanks Hydro for funding the project, saying these trees support their efforts in remediating greenspaces at the Centre.
The new trees are part of an ongoing project to reforest the old incinerator and landfill site.
