Grade Six students Stormy Kent (right), Vallee Harper, and fellow students from David Livingstone School plant trees Tuesday in the Oakbank area as part of National Forestry Week.
Students from David Livingston Community School on Flora Avenue will plant as many as 10,0000 white spruce trees this morning in a reclaimed gravel pit in the RM of Springfield.
The initiative is supported by Winnipeg-based real estate development company Qualico and has been dubbed Planting for the Future.
Local dignitaries will attend the event. The location is about one kilometre east of the intersection of Heatherdale and Hillside Rd., northwest of Oakbank.
