Our Local Community:
Last year, Cribit Seeds was a proud supporter of #TreesforWoolwich
TWEEC, Township of Woolwich Environmental Enhancement Committee plant trees on our property as part of the initiative.
Trees for Woolwich started in 2011 with the goal to plant 1 tree for every person in Woolwich, totaling 23,000 trees.
The 23,000th tree was planted here in Winterbourne where we had 40 junior students from EDSS planting trees.
They planted 160 trees from 6 different species.
