Farewell to the Celebration Trees Program
After 11 years and more than 100 trees now planted in community parks across Centre Wellington, we are retiring from this volunteer venture. We are grateful to our team of volunteers, our partner – the Centre Wellington Parks and Recreation Department – and especially to all those who contributed to the program with their financial donations and their stories about their loved ones.
While Celebration Trees is over, the Township has adopted a similar tree planting/dedication program. For more information, please contact Marisa MacKay, the Township’s Horticulturalist at MMackay@centrewellington.ca or 1 (519) 846-9691 x 261.
