Conservation Tree Planting Initiative
In 2022, in partnership with Cataraqui Conservation we planted approximately 7,700 seedlings across 9.6 acres of land across the Township as part of Forest Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program with additional support from the Highway of Heroes (HOH) planting initiative. This added seedlings 9.6 acres of land across Loyalist Township in the upcoming weeks. The Cataraqui Conservation is administering this program and will complete the planting of seedlings at the following four sites, which were approved by Council on May 9, 2022:
- Two portions of Township-owned lands located in the north and south of the Violet Waste Disposal Site
- Behind Bath Public School and along the southwest boundary of 241 Church Street, Bath (Bath Park)
- A 2-acre Township-owned parcel on Bath Road, south of the former Invista site
This initiative aligns with Goal #1 of the Climate Action Plan, which involves plantings 20,000 trees in Loyalist Township by 2030. The successful completion of this initiative led to achieving almost 40% of this goal.
