Lend a Hand: Plant a Tree

 


 

Climate change is affecting every part of our world.  Ontario’s Plant A Tree Challenge encourages people to plant trees to fight climate change.

 

Did you know that planting just one tree makes a difference to our province and our planet?

 

Trees clean the air, store carbon, increase wildlife habitat, provide shade, and prevent flooding. 

 

Ontario’s goal is to plant 50 million trees by 2020.  And, if we all lend a hand, we know we can accomplish even more. 

 

 

 

Are you up for the challenge?!

 

Challenge yourself to plant trees, and challenge your family, friends and neighbours.  Make a pledge to plant trees.

Celebrate your success in fighting climate change by sending us your tree planting stories and photos.  We’ll share them on this website to help inspire others to join the challenge.

Add your pledge!
