Scanlon Creek Tree planting

Scanlon Creek Conservation Area is one of LSRCA’s largest and most visited conservation areas in our watershed. Its mission is to demonstrate leadership in the conservation of the natural environment and provide opportunities for people to connect with nature. Our goal to continue to expand the greenspace at Scanlon is slowly being accomplished. We have planted 1500 trees in 0.765-hectare area that will mitigate climate change effects, increase biodiversity, and protect species at risk. The large planting also added considerable forest cover to an already existing woodlot, increasing wildlife habitat.
