DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue.

What do you think? Can birds help combat the catastrophic impacts of climate chaos ? YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! Birds do an incredible job of helping to create new forests by eating tons of tree seeds. As they fly all over the forests the tree seeds in their poop is dropped on the forest floor. And, the poop helps to fertilize the tree seeds as they sprout into saplings. 92% of woody plants are grown from the seeds dropped by birds in their poop ! 182 species are edible. 85 species are used for timber. 153 species are medicinal plants. 156 species are ornamental. A new study published in Forest Ecosystems (20220 concluded large fruit-eating animals, including birds like toucans significantly help regenerate forests which are giant traps for carbon, collectively, absorbing as much as 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions , and store more than 1,600 gigatonnes of carbon in their soil. In the tropics, tall, hardwood species with dense,
