The Sansin Corporation Donates 40 Deciduous Trees to St. Clair Conservation for Planting at Yorkview Community Park
 

Sansin, Strathroy-Caradoc and St. Clair Conservation will break ground on Earth Day, April 22nd at 10:00 am at a tree planting ceremony
 

The Sansin Corporation today announced that it will donate 40 large stock deciduous trees to the St. Clair Conservation Authority. The donated trees will be planted on parkland in Strathroy-Caradoc to create a natural canopy and restore habitat and green space in a popular, local park.

Specifically, the trees will be planted at the Yorkview Community Park around the largest baseball diamond, on Earth Day, April 22nd at 10:00 am at a ceremonial planting, with representatives from Sansin, Strathroy-Caradoc and St. Clair Conservation Authority in conjunction with the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority’s Annual Environmental Clean Up Day. An Evergreen grant assisted with the planting of trees around the pitches at the Strathroy Henk Van Dyk Soccer Park in 2009.

“Sansin is dedicated to our local community and being environmentally responsible, so donating trees to a local park was an excellent way to show our support for both important causes,” said Sjoerd Bos, vice president of the Sansin Corporation. “Kids will benefit greatly from being surrounded by trees, especially on warm days when a natural canopy can provide welcome shade.”

Sansin is also sponsoring an Earth Day Challengea free, deciduous tree seedling giveaway to encourage businesses and homeowners to plant trees in our community.

“We are very thankful to Sansin for the contribution to our community – the home of their organization,” stated Strathroy-Caradoc Mayor Mel Veale. Tim Hanna, Strathroy-Caradoc’s Director of Recreation and Leisure Services added, “this is the second phase of planting we are undertaking with the Authority in and around the sportsfields and it will complete the 2008 planting plan, with a total of 90 trees that will provide shade adjacent to the soccer pitches, baseball diamonds, basketball courts and playground areas of the park.”

“This is a great way to celebrate Earth Day,” Brian McDougall, Director of Watershed Services for the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority said. “We are pleased to be partnering with the Sansin Corporation and the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc to plant trees in the community.”
