Lower Trent Conservation Launches 2025 Native Plant Sale                                                                                                  

Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) is thrilled to announce the opening of its highly anticipated 2025 Native Plant Sale on Monday, December 2, 2025. This annual initiative supports biodiversity, promotes the use of native species in landscaping, and helps protect local ecosystems while raising funds for conservation efforts.

The program offers a selection of native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers suited to a variety of soil types, sunlight conditions, and landscapes. These plants not only enhance the beauty of gardens and properties but also provide critical habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.

“Native plants are a vital part of our ecosystem and planting them helps to create resilient landscapes that benefit both people and nature,” says Massimo Narini, Watershed Services Specialist. “We’re excited to offer residents a way to contribute to local conservation efforts while greening their spaces.”
