Neepawa Home Hardware Building Centre recently hosted a community tree planting event at Park Lake, in partnership with the Town of Neepawa.
A total of 50 mature trees were planted during this event, which was part of a larger restoration project following flooding in 2020 that damaged a dam that held back the lake's water.
The larger trees were purchased by the town following a generous grant from Tree Canada and Home Hardware Stores Limited
Those trees now line a new walking trail beside the restored Park Lake.
The lake's restoration, which was completed in spring 2024, has enhanced flood prevention capabilities and has revitalized the local ecosystem, welcoming back waterfowl and other wildlife.
