WHO WE ARE: The Poplar Hill Lions Club is continuing the annual sale of road- side trees that was started by Trees Middlesex Centre in 2011. WHAT WE ARE OFFERING: The objective is to encourage the planting of native deciduous species along the roads of Middlesex Centre. By ordering in bulk and applying for grants from Middlesex Centre to subsidize the cost, we can provide trees to residents at a significant discount. WHY WE ARE DOING IT : Trees planted along the roads over 100 years ago have provided shade, windbreaks, have been homes to wildlife, enhance the environment and add scenic appeal to the community. These trees have reached the end of their lifespan and most have been removed. New trees are now needed to replace them. HOW IT IS DONE: Trees planted along the roads over 100 years ago have provided shade, windbreaks, have been homes to wildlife, enhance the environment and add scenic appeal to the community. These trees have reached the end of their lifespan and most have been removed. New trees are now needed to replace them. HOW IT IS DONE: Trees are ordered by mid November and are distributed when they are ready in the spring. Pre Ͳ paid trees can be picked up at the Poplar Hill Park along with planting instructions. The cost this year is $35 per tree except red oak which are $45. Note: Because of this low price we are unable to provide any type of replacement guarantee for trees that do not take root. All sales are final. Stakes and tree guards are also available for wind and rodent protection. These bare Ͳ root trees are generally 6 Ͳ 8 ft. and should be planted on private property, not on the munici- pal right Ͳ of Ͳ way. Full planting instructions can be downloaded from phlions.ca/pdf/Tree_Care.pdf cost, we can provide trees to residents at a significant discount. : Trees are ordered by mid November and are distributed when they are ready in the spring.

This is a great opportunity for residents of Middlesex Centre to beautify their properties and replace the old trees that must be removed. Ideally, trees should be planted along the road- side on private property just off the municipal right Ͳ of Ͳ way (33 feet from the centreline of concession roads) but any location that can clearly be seen from the road is acceptable. Locations such as corners where they can block the view should be avoided.
