Trees for Nipissing

Trees for Nipissing is a grassroots organization started in 2004.  They were formerly known as Nipissing Botanical Gardens and had their beginnings with Heritage Gardeners.  Planting at the Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse was done with the support of the Caisse Alliance.  Caisse Alliance, in 2021, funded and helped to plant the Newborn Forest project.  The Sisters of St. Joseph, like many others in our community and world, embraced this opportunity of helping to fulfill Pope Francis's call to care for our environment and Mother Earth (Laudato Si).  Our deepest gratitude to Judith Veldhuis and her Caisse Alliance team, Peggy Walsh Craig representing Trees4Nippising, and Hal Falk (Eagle Tree Service).
