Sunoco Earth Day 2008


Sunoco Earth Day 2008 Tree Planting Celebration is scheduled for Sunday, April 27 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), in partnership with Earth Day Canada, and our sponsor, Sunoco and the Suncor Energy Foundation, invites everyone to come out to help plant 1000 native trees and shrubs at Malden Park at the Matchette Road Entrance in the City of Windsor. Everyone is invited to join us, and there is still time to register for the Green Team Challenge. Bring at least 10 members of your business or community to receive a Certificate of Participation at the event!

There is fun for the whole family! Enjoy the barbecue, learn about how trees help our environment and see live birds up close. Kids can crawl in a Giant Caterpillar, play at the inflatable soccer net, participate in Nature Crafts, a Nature Scavenger Hunt, and a Bald Eagle Obstacle Course to win cool nature stuff!

In a region where less than 7.5% of our landscape consists of natural areas, the importance of planting trees can not be overstated. Malden Park is located within the Turkey Creek watershed, which leads to the Detroit River. Celebrate Earth Day as a family and leave the precious legacy of a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.

Hope to see you there!
