Russell resident nurtures Trans Canada Trail trees
Dave Coombs of Russell, a Dauphin, Manitoba native, has planted and watered hundreds of trees along the Trans Canada Trail over 15 years. He sources seedlings through Lake of the Prairies Conservation District and uses clear staking, annual watering, and fencing for flowering varieties to protect saplings from wildlife and trampling.
