 ReForest London had a great 2008, planting more than 3,200 trees and shrubs with the help of 3,000 volunteers.
Highlights include a launch our Neighbourhood Re-Leaf: Glen Cairn program to plant 1,000 trees in the Glen Cairn neighbourhood. We also planted 80 large shade trees at 9 schools, completed 12 community group projects, planted nearly 2,000 trees and shrubs in two projects in our ongoing 10,000 Trees for the Medway program, and planted along Veterans Memorial Parkway with GM dealers.
