Crews break ground on St. Andrew’s United Church Woodland Sanctuary Project in Lacombe

The City of Lacombe officially broke ground on the St. Andrew’s United Church Woodland Sanctuary Project.

They officially announced the beginning of the project with a ceremony that took place a week ago on Friday.

The final design for the tree project was approved by Lacombe city council in March of this year, which is a collaborative effort between the city and the United Church.

Together they’ll transform a 1.7-acre municipal reserve on the west end of Woodland Drive into a natural forest ecosystem with 100 native trees and shrubs.
