How you can get your hands on one of the rarest trees in Canada

Carolinian Canada is a charity dedicated to preserving, protecting and restoring Ontario's Carolinian forest. They coordinate one of the largest and most ambitious Ecosystem Recovery programs in Canada. 
Hundreds of years ago pawpaws grew in abundance in the Carolinian. Indigenous people planted them near their communities and along many of their trade routes. Today, the tree only grows in about a dozen places and is one of the rarest species in Canada. An ecologist and a retired teacher are bringing 100 pawpaw trees to communities across Southern Ontario

These are just a few of the 100 pawpaw seedlings ecologist Ben Porchuk
is giving away with a little help from his neighbour Steve O'Neil.
