VANCOUVER — Tree Canada is the leading national tree planting charity in Canada.
They recently partnered with Oroweat Organic to regreen two entrances to the school grounds at W.D. Ferris Elementary School in Richmond.
Oroweat Organic is based in Langley and produces locally baked, sustainable bread with a reduced carbon footprint.
They incorporate eco-friendly practices throughout their baking process and it’s very important for them to give back to the communities they serve.
The tree planting initiative at W.D. Ferris Elementary School is a prime example of this.
Students were able to take part in watering and mulching the new trees.
