National Tree Day - Tree Canada

Celebrate Trees Across Canada!

Every September, on the Wednesday of National Forest Week, we come together for National Tree Day—a day to honour the beauty, strength, and vital role of trees in our lives. More than a celebration, it’s a call to action! Plant, learn, and make a lasting impact on our environment.

Les Amis du Boisé Neilson

Winner of the 2024 National Tree Day Contest

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.
