Tree Planting

Planting the future, one tree at a time.

We plant thousands of trees each year across the region — building canopy, strengthening neighbourhoods, and creating healthier spaces for everyone.

Tree planting is at the heart of our mission. Working with volunteers, municipalities, developers, and community groups, we plant native trees in parks, natural areas, neighbourhoods, and community spaces. Each planting event brings people together to make a lasting impact.

What We Do

  • Community planting events
  • Neighbourhood canopy projects
  • Park and natural area restoration
  • Developer and municipal planting partnerships
  • Mini forest and food forest planting

Why It Matters

Healthier neighbourhoods Trees improve air quality, reduce heat, and support mental and physical well-being.

Climate resilience Native trees help manage stormwater, reduce flooding, and support biodiversity.

Community connection Planting events bring people together and build pride in shared green spaces.

Long-term impact Every tree planted today supports future generations and strengthens London’s environmental future.

What We Plant

We plant native and locally appropriate species that support biodiversity and thrive in London’s climate. Species selection is guided by ecological value, site conditions, and long-term resilience.

Planting locations include parks, schoolyards, trails, neighbourhood boulevards, and community spaces.

Tree planting takes place across London and the surrounding region in parks, neighbourhoods, schoolyards, and community spaces. 

After the Planting: Stewardship

Planting is only the beginning. Young trees need care to survive and thrive. Our Community Stewardship program supports watering, mulching, monitoring, and long-term maintenance.
