Tim Shortridge is an avid volunteer involved in community restoration initiatives across Windsor-Essex. He joined ERCA’s How-To Crew to help support much needed restoration work in our region in an elevated way. In addition to planting trees, in his role as a How-To Crew member, Tim provides planning support, and advances long-term growth and survival through quality control measures at planting events. He has planted many trees at various restoration sites across the region. He also participates in the citizen science tree surveys to collect tree health and growth data at community restoration sites to assist with future restoration decisions. Tim is a member of the Essex County Field Naturalists’ Club, participates in bird counts, attends meetings and many field trips. He also has adopted an amphibian route within the Marsh Monitoring Program. Tim is described by his nominator as “a great community member who loves to discuss trees, restoration and ways to protect the environment”.
Congratulations to you Tim!
