The plan helps the golf club decide which trees to plant and where they will go on the course.

The club’s tree population is predominantly Ash-most of which are infested by the Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive species that has significantly impacted urban and forested canopies across Ontario according to Fleming College. The insect is the cause of the trees becoming dead or dying and needing to be removed and replaced.  

The club anticipates planting 20 to 25 trees per year over the next several years.
