Plan your next team bonding event with us

Our Partners in Planting program is rooted in environmental stewardship and positive corporate citizenship. It gives companies the opportunity to engage employees in meaningful team bonding experiences through tree planting or maintenance activities in cities across Canada.

Why a Partners in Planting Event?

Environmental Stewardship

Get your hands dirty! Your employees will gain on-the-ground experience planting and maintaining urban forests.

Corporate Citizenship

By planting and nurturing trees, your team will contribute to the greening of local communities and gain a deeper understanding of the value of urban forests.

Team Bonding

Team bonding is good. Team bonding that leaves a growing legacy is even better!

How it works

Step 1: Submit an interest form

Tell us a bit about your organization and your goals. Our Development Team will follow up to learn more and begin planning your event.

Step 2: We handle the planning

Your team lead will be connected with our Program Team and a Tree Canada Forestry Specialist. Together, we’ll coordinate the site, schedule, and type of activity—tree planting or stewardship.

Step 3: We secure your site

We work with trusted planting partners to find a suitable location. Activities may include planting trees and shrubs, or stewardship tasks like watering, mulching, invasive species removal, and general tree care. We’ll tailor the activity to what’s needed at your selected site.

Step 4: Plant and nurture trees

On event day, our Forestry Specialist will be on-site to lead your team through the two-hour activity. Connect with nature, learn about the vital role of urban trees, and bond with your colleagues while making a meaningful impact!

Timelines

Partners in Planting events are available in both spring and fall—Canada’s annual planting seasons. Please allow three to four months of lead time so we can secure a suitable site and activity for your group.

  • Spring event request deadline: February 1
  • Fall event request deadline: June 1
