Trees Across Toronto is the city’s native tree and shrub planting program that responds directly to the tree canopy goal and is a major step forward in reclaiming some of our underdeveloped and “un-treed” lands.

Join us on Saturday April 25th at one of the five locations across the city to help plant trees. Our staff lead volunteers on how to plant native trees and shrubs in a designated planting area on site.
Spring Planting Event, Saturday April 26th, 10am-12pm.

Planting Day Tips for Volunteers

* Gloves and shovels are provided.
* Plantings go rain or shine.
* Some sites are muddy – so you might get dirty!
* Most of our sites do not have permanent washroom facilities. However, portable toilets will be available the day of the event at each location.
* Wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
* Dress for the weather –you may need a raincoat and rubber boots or sunscreen and a hat.
