Tree Canada is proud to support this weekend’s re-planting event, along with other ReForest London supporters. Volunteers can register on Eventbrite:

Our hearts are with the people of London who worked so hard to make this planting possible. Our gratitude goes to ReForest London for saving as many trees as they could and for continuing their important work.

Had they been allowed to grow, these trees would have cooled summer heat, shaded families, supported biodiversity, and made the community more beautiful. Instead, someone chose destruction. They���ve done a disservice not just to the trees, but to their entire community.

Professionals work hard to ensure trees are planted correctly, and volunteers are taught so these trees have the best possible start. Each tree represents an investment of time, energy, and hope for a healthier future.

Growing saplings takes years. That’s years of care and resources from nurseries dedicated to raising trees that have a real chance of surviving into adulthood. Choosing planting sites and securing land permissions takes planning and expertise.

If you haven’t heard the news, 120 young trees were ripped from the ground after @rfldn, a registered charity, hosted a planting event at Arthur Ford Park in London, Ontario. They were found discarded in a pile nearby during National Forest Week.

Applications are now open for Tree Canada’s Community Tree Grants! 🌳 We're looking for impact-driven greening projects that create lasting environmental and social benefits in communities across Canada. Up to $10,000 in funding. Apply by December 1st: https://t.co/V0gIeAVQoS

Today, we honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and their communities. Reconciliation is not a one-day event, but a lifelong journey. We walk this path humbly in the spirit of shared understanding. #NDTR #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation

🌳 The celebrations are still going strong! Today, volunteers are planting in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, London, Brampton, Markham, Ottawa, Lévis, Saint John, Halifax & Charlottetown. 🍁 Tomorrow: Richmond Hill & Longueuil! 🌱 Thanks @BMOCanada
