M.D. of Willow Creek landowners who are interested in improving their land's health, resilience, and beauty by planting trees are in luck.
Through Willow Creek's micro forest and shelterbelt program, landowners in Willow Creek are able to get free tree planting services.
Shakti by Telus is a Canadian reforestation company that specializes in project development, tree planting, sourcing, seed collection, and site preparation, and they are offering tree planting services that are customized to the property and the landowner's vision for Willow Creek landowners.
As part of their work, Shakti works alongside various funding partners, which ensures all of the trees and planting services are fully funded and provided at no cost, as they are committed to creating a positive environmental change.
Through this program, the team with Shakti will help landowners who are wanting to reduce the wind and soil erosion on their property, replant vegetation along creeks and riverbeds, provide a habitat for wildlife, create micro-orchards, or improve the beauty of the property by designing a plan that will help meet their needs.
The available tree and shrub species for Willow Creek residents include cottonwood, white spruce, willow, blue spruce, silverberry, chokecherry, and more.
