Planting with Pride

Parkland Truro, Parkland at the Lakes, Parkland Cape Breton

In celebration of World Tree Planting Day and in recognition of residents at Kinross and Lewis Hall, two trees were planted on the grounds of Parkland at the Lakes, a retirement living community in Dartmouth, N.S. This initiative is part of a partnership between the Clean Foundation’s Thriving Forests Program to plant trees at three of our Nova Scotia locations: Parkland at the Lakes in Dartmouth, Parkland Cape Breton, and Parkland Truro. Each site was evaluated to ensure suitability for planting, including local wildlife, slope, and soil composition resulting in the planting of just under 6,000 trees. Many of our communities are blessed with beautiful scenery and land, making it an easy choice for Shannex to partner with the Province of Nova Scotia and the Clean Foundation to help reach their goal of planting 21 million trees and Canada’s goal of two billion trees by 2031. This is just one of the many ways we continue our commitment to environmental stewardship and give back to our beloved planet.
