National Tree Day (NTD) is a day for Canadians to come together in appreciation of trees, their natural beauty, and the many benefits they provide.
This September, Tree Canada hosted planting events in celebration of National Tree Day on the Wednesday and the Saturday of National Forest Week!
Tree Canada celebrated its 13th National Tree Day with community planting events in every province across two days. More than 2,300 volunteers helped plant over 8,770 trees and shrubs at 21 events across Canada! We were thrilled to offer so many opportunities thanks to the support of our presenting sponsor BMO.

Thank you to everyone who came out and got their hands dirty to celebrate trees!
Last year’s National Tree Day contest winner, Les Amis du Boisé Neilson, celebrated with a community event on Saturday, September 21st, 2024. The group organized the planting of 55 trees, unveiled a living art piece, and distributed trees to the community. Around 125 people, including children, families, volunteers, and local dignitaries, gathered for the occasion. The art piece unveiling was a highlight, involving 15 volunteers in its creation. The event was made possible by the support of three key partners: the City of Québec, Coop IGA, and Capitale Nature.
They’ll be receiving a free tree planting event in 2025 thanks to our National Tree Day presenting sponsor, BMO.
