On Friday October 26 Norwell’s LEAF program teamed up with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) to plant some coniferous and deciduous trees. Our goal was to create a buffer zone between a waterway and some farmland. We did this because the land was cropped too close to the waterway which was causing the soil to erode into the water. Potentially cropping a field this close to a stream could lead to water pollution, soil erosion, and sedimentation. Something that we learned is that even simple things like planting trees can have a big environmental impact (stopping soil/water erosion) and can protect waterways.Thank you MVCA for giving us the chance to help impact our local environment in a positive way.
