This fall, PRWIN collected personal seedling orders for our PRWIN 2022 Spring Seedling Program.

All recipients of the program will be responsible for picking up and planting the seedlings. If any seedlings are not picked up, they will be given to a participant on the waiting list. All participants of our program will be given notice in April informing them of our seedling pickup date and location.

DUNE RESTORATION IN POINT CLARK

This fall, PRWIN Chairperson David Grant and PRWIN volunteers Jim and Christine Roberts offered their time and efforts to assist Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation with dune restoration in the Point Clark area.
They helped to plant dune grass and remove invasive plants on the beach. Thank you for keeping our Great Lakes so great! Photos courtesy of Jim and Christine Roberts.

FALL PLANTING WITH MVCA

PRWIN had a light blanket of snow, to plant 200 white cedar at a land owners farm near Holyrood. A big thank you to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the opportunity to plant seedlings in our watershed.
