The community that plants together, grows together!
Forests Ontario’s annual Community Tree Plants take place during the first weekend of May. They bring together families, community members and volunteers to take part in a half-day tree planting activity, promoting local engagement and environmental awareness. Participants are given the opportunity to directly support their community in a local reforestation project and learn about the benefits of trees, shade and urban green spaces.
The events are held rain or shine and participants are asked to bring a shovel, gardening gloves and a lot of energy! Forests Ontario and its partners supply the rest – the trees, forestry specialists, mulch and snacks. Appropriate outdoor clothing, sturdy shoes (steel toe if possible), a hat and sunscreen are recommended.
