With the first day of spring just around the corner, we're all excited to step outside and begin planting again. Speaking of planting, REEP is currently accepting applications for the spring season of their Backyard Tree Planting program, open to residents of Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph.
More REEP programs and fundraising initiatives for this spring follow:
