Summary

This is the 7th year that East Shore Planters have been an active Greenspace Group. The group originally worked in the Pardee Seawall Park, but have since moved out into the neighbourhood to plant trees per request. They are a group of committed neighbours who come together, with unmatched enthusiasm, to help one another. In 2014, the group began the season by maintaining previous plantings at Pardee Seawall Park. The following workdays were committed to planting 7 street trees throughout the neighbourhood. To finish off the season, the group returned to Lighthouse Point Park to plant two evergreen trees.
