Plant Kawartha
Plant a Forest has recently changed it’s name! We’re now Plant Kawartha and have started a fund that builds on the legacy of the Canopy Project, a fund managed by the Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes.
The aim of Plant Kawartha is:
- to promote and create opportunities to increase biodiversity in the region
- to support programs and projects aimed at protecting and preserving the environment for the benefit of the public
- to educate and enhance the public’s understanding of the environment,
- to be open to helping others starting their own biodiverse projects including planting initiatives.
We’re a volunteer-led community group and our mission is to increase the biodiversity in the settlement areas of the City of Kawartha Lakes.
Please stay in touch and informed of our progress through PlantKawartha.ca.
