Spring News – Nurseries, MLF Rebate and COVID-19

Posted by MLF Webmaster on
 April 15, 2020

Spring is planting season!

A message from our Executive Director, Deb Pella Keen

Deb Pella Keen, MLF Executive Director

First and foremost, I hope you and your families are safe and well. The last few weeks have been unprecedented for all of us as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been felt closer to home – in the communities in which we live, work and serve.

We recognize our spring newsletter will not be a top read for many of you.  However, we thought it might be helpful to those who may be trying to complete their tree planting plans this spring.Our staff at Maple Leaves Forever are continuing to work from home, so if you have any questions please contact info@mapleleavesforever.ca.

All the best and stay safe,
Deb
