In collaboration with Tree Canada and CN Rail, the county has been completing a tree planting project at Camp Lake.
The purpose of this planting project was to revegetate areas in the park where trees have struggled to grow or died due to drought stress.
On Thursday, Oct. 1 at Camp Lake, 95 trees representing four species were planted as part of a tree-planting partnership grant of $50,000.
The funds were obtained through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Green Municipal Fund, in collaboration with From the Ground Up Tree Planting and Greening from CN EcoConnexions.
Beaver County agreed to pursue this initiative in a county council motion last June.
