The Town of Tillsonburg marked Earth Day by planting 20 trees at Memorial Park that were donated by Courtland Landscape and Grounds.
TILLSONBURG - The Town of Tillsonburg marked Earth Day by receiving 20 new ornamental trees.
The trees were donated by Courtland Landscape and Grounds and Sales Manager Steve Cluett explains why they gave this gift to the town of Tillsonburg.
“It’s our 20th anniversary this year, and we were looking for a way to celebrate that milestone. Our idea was to donate and plant 20 trees.”
Director of Recreation, Culture and Parks Chris Baird says they planted the trees at Memorial Park.
“Courtland approached the Town and asked if we might be able to partner together on this project. As we talked about it
further, we came up with the idea of planting the trees in Memorial Park, in an area where a number of dead ash trees had previously been removed.”
The new plantings are located along the well-traveled McLaughlin Trail along the western edge of Lake Lisgar. Mayor Stephen Molnar says a dedication plaque will be installed to recognize Courtland’s generosity later this spring.
“It’s great to see local businesses giving back to the community. Throughout its history, Courtland has been an active supporter of local causes, and a good neighbour to those in need. This donation is further evidence of that spirit.”
CAO Kyle Pratt says outdoor spaces have never been more important.
“The Town recognizes the importance of outdoor spaces at this time when so many other recreational opportunities are not available. It’s great to see our community working together even in these difficult times.”
