On November 24, 2013, Barry Porter, Environmental Project Manager for the Niagara Restoration Council, came by with a volunteer tree planting crew from Niagara College to plant 239 trees.

My 76 year-old father got in on the action.  Notice he's carrying 2 trees!
The trees in the big (15 gallon) pots in the foreground are the Kentucky Coffee Trees.
