REGINA — You'd better be-leaf it! Celebrate Arbor Day on May 30 with a free tree seedling from Wascana Centre. Guests can choose between a Scots Pine or a Blue Spruce.
"On Arbor Day, we are reminded that every tree in the Wascana Centre canopy was hand planted with the goal of making our capital city beautiful," Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) Eric Schmalz said.
"We hope that these free seedlings being offered help their new owners create a beautiful, treed oasis in their own backyard."
PCC staff will be handing out seedlings in the Willow Island parking lot starting at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, May 30. Trees will be available while quantities last, and there is a limit of one per person.
The PCC is responsible for the maintenance and future of the urban forest located within the Wascana Centre and Government House boundaries. The urban forest is monitored continually for overall health of the tree canopy cover.
