Students in environmental clubs at two elementary schools in Manotick raised their green thumbs together to plant hundreds of trees in an effort for a cleaner and greener tomorrow.
“Planting trees gives the world oxygen,” says Myla, a Grade 5 student at Manotick Public School. "We’re in the environmental club and we learn about the environment and how to help it."
"We don’t get to see the other school that often so it’s really fun to do a project together," says Maggie King, a student at St. Leonard. "We get to help out the community near our school with all of our friends and really spread the awareness of how we can help our environment." "The kids we’re super excited," says Perrier. "And it gave them an opportunity to collaborate with them on things they can do to help the environment.""They’re going to be able to walk by here for years to come, watch trees grow and see the difference that they made," LeCain says, "They all got their hands dirty, feeling the rocks, seeing the earthworms, getting their feet dirty and to just connect with the earth is such a wonderful thing for them.
"In addition to getting folks out and partnering with the community, this moves all of our city plans for climate change and action and greening the city forward," Coun. Dave Brown said. "When you bring all of these folks together to plant trees in a community park it’s a good day."
