Tree time

Wellington County Green Legacy Program and Trees For Mapleton hosted the annual township tree pick-up day on May 4 at the Mapleton Public Works Garage. As always the trees were available at no cost to residents, however the township accepted donations to the local food bank. Residents could order their trees in advance from a list of types available this year or choose from the surplus trees in a first come first serve basis on the day of the event.
