Can you recommend a Highway of Heroes Tree Campaign planting site? LO members: I am asking for your help identifying Highway of Heroes Service Tree planting sites. These 1.8 million trees honour every Canadian who has volunteered to serve our country; we need planting sites within 15 km of Hwy. 401 between Trenton and Toronto. The sites could be on your property, or found through your customer, personal or professional networks. Please contact me with suggestions. Thanks to LO members for your huge contributions to HOH. |
