Forests Ontario’s Annual Holiday Tree Sale is back!

Posted: 2020.11.12

Love the fresh smell of cedar and fir during the holidays?

So do we! Forests Ontario is thrilled to offer our annual holiday tree and wreath sale this December.

Why buy the real deal?

Opting for a real tree during the holiday season is the environmentally sound choice. Real trees are 100% biodegradable – producing no landfill waste at the end of the season. In fact, they can be used as wildlife habitat or turned into mulch for public parks.

Real, locally-sourced trees have a smaller environmental footprint than plastic trees, which are often manufactured elsewhere and are shipped to Canada. Over 500 Ontario tree farmers provide 1 million holiday trees each year, so the purchase of a real tree goes back into the local economy. While growing on the farm, real trees sequester carbon and are replaced by newly planted trees when they are harvested. Once acre of real holiday trees provides enough oxygen for 18 people daily!

Finally, there’s nothing like the fresh aroma of a real tree in your home to signal the holidays.
