Planting in the Salmon River Watershed

The public is welcome to join the Annual Gathering of the Friends of the Salmon River on Monday, November 2 at 6:30 pm at the Legion on 714 Addington St. in Tamworth.

Lindsay Nash, Outreach & Stewardship Coordinator at Quinte Conservation, will speak about improving the biodiversity of the Salmon River watershed and the benefits of planting along our shoreline.

The Friends of the Salmon River will present our new campaign to invigorate the shores of the Salmon River with native tree plantings. We welcome your ideas and participation in a discussion.

Lindsay Nash has years of experience in tree planting and care, shoreline health and outreach to the community. She can help landowners with planting plans, choosing species and sourcing seedlings. Friends of the Salmon River can help with shoreline visits, finding funding for seedlings, and coordination of projects.

This is a great opportunity to learn how native plantings can help protect and strengthen our local ecosystem. You don’t need to be a member to attend. This is also an opportunity to purchase or renew a membership in The Friends if desired. We are also accepting nominations for new members of our board.
