The Long Point Causeway will be seeing some changes, about one thousand trees will be added on either side of the road.
The TD Friends of the Environment Fund gave nearly 10 thousand dollars for the project.
Coordinator for the Long Point Causeway Improvement Project, Rick Levick says this year there are unusually high water conditions so they are being very careful with which trees go where.
Levick says they consulted with the County Forestry Department and the St Williams Ecology Centre to select the types of Carolinian trees to plant.
Levick says in addition to enhancing the natural beauty it will create a path for the birds and butterflies to migrate.
