The South Simcoe Streams Network (SSSN) is in its sixteenth year of operation. This program continues to draw multi-sector and community support. The SSSN has developed innovative, action-oriented ways to improve and protect local stream environments through education, community involvement, and on the ground activities.
In 2023 SSSN hosted 18 spring tree planting events involving both community volunteers and school groups. 621 volunteers worked to plant 5480 trees & shrubs across 16 different sites in the southern portion of Simcoe County. The SSSN volunteers added an additional 233 volunteer hours in site preparation and assistance with tree planting activities. Thank you to our many volunteers who contributed a total of 1,958 hours in 2023!
