Rooted in London. Growing Across the Region.
ReForest London began with a simple belief: a greener city is a healthier, more connected, and more resilient city. Since 2005, we've worked alongside thousands of volunteers, partners, and community members to strengthen the urban forest across London and the surrounding region.
Our story is one of people, place, and possibility - a shared commitment to restoring canopy, protecting natural spaces, and inspiring environmental stewardship across Southwestern Ontario.
A Community Movement Takes Root
ReForest London started as a grassroots initiative driven by residents who wanted to see more trees in their neighbourhoods. What began as small community plantings quickly grew into a city-wide movement.
Growing with Purpose
Over the years, our work expanded beyond tree planting. Today, ReForest London leads programs that support:
| Urban Forest Restoration | Environmental Education | Community Engagement |
| Climate Resilience | Youth and Student Learning | Regional Partnerships across Southwestern Ontario |
Every project is designed to strengthen the natural systems that support our communities
A Home in the Forest: Westminster Ponds Centre
ReForest London is proud to be the owner and operator of the Westminster Ponds Centre, a visionary space located adjacent to the City-owned Westminster Ponds Environmentally Significant Area - one of Southwestern Ontario's most ecologically and culturally significant landscapes.
As the region's emerging Gateway to Nature, the Westminster Ponds Centre connects people, organizations, and communities to the natural world through learning, collaboration, and hands-on environmental action. The site embodies our belief that meaningful sustainability begins with access to nature - and with a place where people can experience it directly.
Our long-term vision is to develop the Westminster Ponds Centre into a regional sustainability campus, a hub where environmental organizations come together to advance climate resilience, ecological restoration, and green leadership. This is a space where ideas grow partnerships form, and the natural environment inspires every step.
Impact Across London and the Region
Our story is deeply tied to the communities we serve. From neighbourhood tree giveaways to large-scale naturalization projects, our work reaches across London and into surrounding municipalities.
We work with municipalities, developers, funders, and community groups to grow canopy where its needed most. We plant trees, but we also plant ideas, relationships, and opportunities - helping build a greener future for generations to come

Our Story Continues
ReForest London's story is still being written - by volunteers, partners, students, donors, and community members who believe in a greener future for London and the surrounding region.
Together, we are building a future where every neighbourhood has access to healthy trees, natural spaces, and opportunities to connect with nature. Our work continues through long-term planning, community partnerships, and the Westminster Ponds Centre.
Together, we're growing something lasting.
