Last weekend, the Town of Milton, along with Sustainable Milton and Conservation Halton planted over 200 native trees and shrubs near Roper Dr.
“The planting improves habitat for wildlife, creates a natural buffer for the stream and community, and helps mitigate climate change,” said the Town of Milton on Twitter.

Recently, students from Milton helped improve Milton’s Urban Forest by planting 200 native trees and shrubs along 16 Mile Creek.
The Town of Milton also recently partnered with Conservation Halton and Anne J. MacArthur Public School to plant 400 trees at Sunny Mount Park.
The Town believes in planting trees for the overall health and well-being of the environment. Street trees, in particular, provide cleaner air, cooler building and street-level temperatures, shade and stormwater absorption and mitigation, all while adding beauty to the neighbourhoods.
Residents concerned about the health of a street, park or woodlot tree near their properties on Milton land, can report their concerns here.
