More than two dozen volunteers have helped with treeplanting work needed for the several sections of the Bois\u00e9 Larocque that were damaged earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have such good volunteers,\u201d said Besner. \u201cWe\u2019re all proud to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Lamarche-Tardif and Villeneuve are pursuing their post-secondary career goals at the University of Ottawa. She is the biomedicine program, with plans to become either a doctor or a dentist, while he is enrolled at the university\u2019s teacher college. They had similar answers when asked why they chose to spend their Saturday digging holes and planting tree seedlings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor fun,\u201d said Lamarche-Tardif, smiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo help the community out,\u201d said Villeneuve, also smiling.<\/p>\n<p>During the late spring and early summer the township hired a contractor to remove all the trees from several small sections of the woodland that suffered the most damage from the ice and wind storms. The township received $300,000 in senior government funding aid for cleaning up Bois\u00e9 Larocque, Chesser Park, and other community sites that were damaged by the storms.<\/p>\n<p>About $50,000 of the funding allocation went towards treeplanting work in Bois\u00e9 Larocque. About 2500 fast-growing seedlings were planted through the efforts of local volunteers. Most of the seedlings are conifers with also a mix of various deciduous trees, like black walnut and hochberry, that can provide nuts and seeds for birds and small animals like squirrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last area of Bois\u00e9 Larocque that suffered damage from this year\u2019s past wind and ice storms now has a new crop of seedlings to replace the damaged and fallen trees.
