The Township of North Glengarry is proceeding with plans to plant trees during the year ahead at two locations.
At the Monday, January 12 council meeting, a recommendation and bylaw were adopted establishing an agreement with South Nation Conservation (SNC) for trees to be planted near the Maxville water tower and on the grounds of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan.
In the Fall of 2024, Council authorized staff to proceed with partnering with the SNC on a funding submission to Growing Canada’s Canopies and, if approved, that the Township of North Glengarry would contribute $5,000 towards this initiative. In the late fall of 2025, the township Community Services Department received notice that SNC was successful in their grant application. The township is contributing $2,500 to the tree planting initiative in 2026, and a further $2,500 in 2027.
Deputy Mayor Carma Williams said she is pleased about the partnership between North Glengarry and SNC for tree planting.
“Certainly, those two locations could use some trees being planted for sure,” Williams said.
