Siemens Canada, Tree Canada & Otonabee Conservation Collaborate To Enhance Habitat With Native Tree Planting
/Otonabee Conservation is planting 78 native trees and shrubs at the Siemens Canada plant in Peterborough, in partnership with Tree Canada and Siemens Canada.
Employees from Siemens Canada in Peterborough and Otonabee Conservation will plant a variety of native species of trees and shrubs, including red oak, red maple, nannyberry, red osier dogwood, white cedar and white pine.
