The Parry Sound 4-H Club and Parry Sound Horticultural Society member Anne Bossart dug in on the first really hot day of summer to plant a demonstration buffer strip along the Seguin River. This project was made possible through the Walmart – Evergreen Green Grant Program. A buffer strip is an area of natural vegetation that runs along the shore. Shoreline buffers, as little as three metres wide, can improve wildlife habitat and help preserve water quality. The 4-H Club also donated several trees to the site and wood chips were donated by the local Hydro One forestry crew.
