Tree Seedling Planting
Thank you to Sault College for donating over 2000 tree seedlings to CAFC over the last 4 years. Thank You also to all the volunteers who planted trees on their properties. During the pandemic tree distribution was done while minimizing in person contact. CAFC offered the trees in bulk numbers and asked people to request trees via email and have the trees delivered to the end of their driveway. Planting trees is always a very hopeful activity for the future.
