O-week Tree Planting with Huron University 

On Saturday, Sept 7, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) partnered with Huron University’s Orientation Week to provide over 50 first- and upper-year Huron students with a native tree and shrub planting event on campus. Together, we planted 130 large trees that, once grown, will extend the Medway Heritage Forest system that borders the campus. Trees species included Maple (Autumn Blaze, Red, Sugar) Hackberry, Bitternut Hickory, Tulip, White Spruce, Eastern White Pine, Red Oak. Shrub species planted included Nannyberry and Elderberry. 

Thanks to the students for joining us to kick off their school year!
