Blyth Cubs BScouts plant trees Blyth and Area Cubs and Scouts will soon by participating in a “Trees for Canada’’ day. Each boy, along with leaders and parents, will be planting young trees for area landowners. This serves a useful purpose in improv ing ecology in the community by providing food and habitat for wildlife, reducing soil erosion, establishing wind breaks, and pro vides a worthwhile training activity for everyone involved. Trees for Canada is a Canada wide initiative designed to give all members of Scouts Canada the opportunity to demonstrate, through action, their concern for their country. Trees for Canada is also a fund raising project. The funds raised have been used to help further Scouting in the community and to develop campsites. Some of the money is used to support interna tional Scout programs designed to help Scouts in the Third World countries learn about “village technology” so they can help their families and communities. Learning about fish farming, planting trees on the edge of the Sahara, learning trades - these are examples of projects Scouts have undertaken in the past few years. This year, it is expected that Canadian Scouts will plant close to two million trees, 500 - 600 around Blyth alone. Support your local Cubs and Scouts on April 22. Local landowners who would like to have trees planted in future years should contact Trish Thom son 523-9723. Remember to wear unlined rub ber gloves when handling any farm chemicals.
