‘Loyal supporter’
Dear Editor:
This is to say a public thank-you to the Elora Salem Horticultural Society (ESHS), for their support for our upcoming 2022-23 season of Neighbourwoods Tree Talks and Walks - offering interesting and informative presentations by experts on tree-related topics.
The Elora Salem Horticultural Society has been a loyal supporter of our events for several years, and their gift goes a long way to helping us continue providing educational events for the public and giving people opportunities to come together to share ideas.
On behalf of Neighbourwoods I want to express our appreciation for the ESHS’s continued support.
Our next Tree Talk will be on Nov. 30 at 7:30pm at the Fergus Legion, on the topic of the Vimy Oaks project. After the battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917, a Canadian soldier brought acorns back to Canada and planted them on his farm.
A century later, a group of dedicated volunteers repatriated oak saplings descended from those acorns, back to Vimy Ridge as a memorial to Canadians who served there. They also distributed commemorative Vimy Oaks across Canada, several of which are here in Centre Wellington.
Everyone is welcome to attend this inspiring presentation; admission is by free-will donation. Please see the Elora Environment Centre’s website for more details.
Carole Pines,Neighbourwoods Tree Talks & Walks Coordinator
