This will be an ongoing project over the next few years. These trees are best suited for park and conservation areas. Mr. Teeft said he couldn't find a specif- ic area that could benefit from the reforestation so the local trees will be divided between Brussels Public School, the flats by the river and throughout the town. There is abso- lutely no cost involved to the com- munity. His reasons for deciding to be involved with the project are basic. "It gives us an opportunity to show our concern for the environment and the beautification of our own hometown," he said. "In Brussels we're blessed with clean air, fertile soil and mature trees, but we shouldn't take these attributes for granted." Law and Security Program at Geor- gian in Barrie.
