ALGONQUINTE AREA
Due to the unseasonable warm weather, the trees for Scoutrees for this year, 2012, will be delivered to Quinte Conservation about 4 to 5 weeks early, and the trees cannot be kept in local storage for more than 10 days to 2 weeks.
This means that we will have to bring forward the local (southern) planting date to 14th April 2012.
I will send out details about the planting site and timing shortly, as soon as I have confirmed everything with Quinte Conservation.
I do apologize for the short notice about this but the conservation authority was only informed last Friday.

Algonquinte Area Scoutrees Planting 2012
The southern Scoutrees planting will take place on Saturday April 14 2012 at the Quinte Conservation site on Wilson Road, Foxboro; this is the same planting site as last year. Planting will start at 10.00 a.m. and continue until all trees are planted. Please remember to bring shovels and buckets to carry the trees and to wear boots as the site is very soft, (easy digging), this event is a go, rain or shine, as no other dates are available, so remember to bring waterproof and warm clothing.
Parking is available at the north end of Wilson Road in the farmer’s yard. Directions to the planting site:
Wilson Road turns north off the Frankford Road between Wallbridge-Loyalist Road and Highway 62 (signs will be posted at the junction) in Foxboro opposite the Foodland (IGA) store in Foxboro.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all out there ?
