Tree Canada's National Tree Day Planting Event

Queen Square West

Tree Canada is excited to celebrate National Tree Day (NTD), presented by BMO. This is the biggest NTD celebration yet, with planting events taking place across the country on both the Wednesday and Saturday of National Forest Week.

Join us to plant trees at Queen Square West and connect with nature. Volunteers will plant 25 large trees and 20 shrubs, and will assist with maintenance of the existing trees and rain garden (including pulling weeds and mulching). Tree Canada experts and volunteers will be there to provide support and answer your tree questions. We’ll also provide gloves and shovels!

This event is completely FREE!

How you'll be making an impact
The open green space of this urban park is well used by the community for playing field sports, lounging, enjoying the ocean view, and walking dogs. In addition to being a valuable green space this park also serves as a community gathering point, with multiple community events happening throughout the year. To support the ongoing use of this park, additional trees and shrubs will be planted to replace fallen trees and increase the amount of shade and native biodiversity in the park.
