Espanola High School is a winning eco-school and is introducing another initiative this Spring in partnership with all the municipalities in the LaCloche Region.
Staff liaison, teacher Jayson Stewart says Espanola High has spearheaded the LaCloche Municipal Tree Planting Relay where they are challenging all area municipalities to plant at least 50 trees this spring in honour of Earth Day.
He says letters were sent out to the communities in December asking them to plant trees and “pass the baton” on to others to do the same while highlighting the dedication to address climate change and reaffirm their commitment to sustainability.
Stewart is especially pleased that all the municipalities have joined the project and Interfor out of Thessalon is donating 700 seedlings to the project.
More information about the planting of the trees or seedlings will be released in time for Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22nd.
