Tree Canada believes firmly that the social, psychological, and economic benefits of Canada’s urban forests are worth preserving. Because of this, we’ve dedicated ourselves to championing, stewarding and expanding our urban forests for more than a quarter century.
Since 1992, Tree Canada has greened more than 1,100 urban centres, BIAs, indigenous communities, schools and hospitals throughout Canada. We’ve greened more than 600 schoolyards, and planted more than 10,000 edible fruit and nut trees and shrubs in communities all across Canada to help fight urban food insecurity.
CN is a true backbone of the economy, transporting more than $250 billion worth of goods annually. But more than that, CN demonstrates its environmental stewardship through its championing of urban greening programs in partnership with Tree Canada.
This year, CN is celebrating its 100th anniversary. For the 2019 and 2020 planting season, we will be focusing on legacy planting projects in eleven major urban centers in Canada and three in the United States where CN has impacted the community. Our regular CN EcoConnexions – From the Ground Up Program community grants will reopen in 2021 to support greening initiatives.
Our Community Tree Grants provide support to community greening, innovation and stewardship initiative across the country.
Our projects support greening in communities of all kinds from schools to hospitals and from the smallest Indigenous communities to our biggest urban centres.
Tree Canada offers companies a way to deliver a team building opportunity alongside community engagement and good corporate citizenship right where your employees live and work through our Partners in Planting program.
We take care of securing a planting site, the trees and the logistics so that all you have to worry about is having a memorable lasting event with your team while doing something positive for your community.
