Tree and Shrub Planting at Grande-DigueRéserve naturelle Grande-Digue Nature Preserve The Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group (GDDPC), in collaboration with Sentier Pluriel, invite you to a tree and shrub planting event on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. at the Grande-Digue Nature Reserve.
25 Years of Biodiversity in Pays de Cocagne
The GDDPC is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and we want to celebrate the richness of nature by planting around twenty different species of trees and shrubs in the Grande-Digue Nature Reserve. June 5th is World Environment Day and also Clean Air Day. New flowerbeds will be created, and nearly 100 plants will be put into the ground to beautify the entrance of the reserve: oaks, beech, elm, hazelnuts, aronias, elderberries, maples, etc. Thanks to trees and shrubs, animals and humans can breathe, feed, heal, and furthermore, trees help prevent soil erosion and store carbon in the soil. Seventh and eighth-grade students from Grande-Digue School will assist us with the planting, and you are also invited to join.
We have some shovels, gloves, and plants, but if you can, please bring your own shovel. Please contact the GDDPC if you are interested in participating. The Facebook event page can be found here. |
