Township of Drummond North/Elmsley
2025 Sapling Giveaway & Planting
The Township of Drummond/North Elmsley celebrated a successful community greening and climate action initiative on May 3rd, distributing 4,000 tree saplings to residents. The event saw strong community engagement, with residents eager to plant a variety of native trees on their properties.
A key element of the initiative's success was the invaluable support of local Scout troops. The Scouts played a significant role in the sapling giveaway, demonstrating their commitment to community service and environmental stewardship.
Beyond the giveaway, the Township extends its sincere appreciation to the Scouts for their hard work in planting an additional 1,000 tree saplings at the Code Road Landfill site. This important contribution will aid in the ecological restoration of the area and further the positive environmental impact of this project and the buffers located on-site.
"We are thrilled by the community's enthusiastic participation in our tree giveaway and deeply grateful for the dedication of our local Scouts to assist with the event," stated Reeve Steve Fouriner.
