Members of Belleville city council, including Mayor Mitch Panciuk, as well as representatives of the Quinte Field Naturalists, Belleville Home Building Centre and Tree Canada took part in a tree planting event at Bird Park Friday morning.
According to the City of Belleville, the Quinte Field Naturalists first initiated a tree planting event with Belleville Home Building Centre utilizing funding from Tree Canada.
It was then decided through consultations with the City of Belleville and Home Hardware on a location and species to plant to utilize funding accordingly and decided that Bird Park would be a great location with the addition of five red maple trees on the east side of the parking lot.
