Planting Seeds

“Here at Trees For Life our #1 goal is to plant trees where Canadians live, work and play.”

We believe that the trees that benefit humans most are planted among us… or, maybe we live among the trees? In either case, you get the point.

Your donation works in mysterious ways.  In this newsletter you’ll read about a valued member of the Trees for Life team who grows trees for a living, is vice-chair of our charity and wanted to give back in a seriously big way.

Jeff Olson is the President of Brookdale Treeland Nurseries, in Schomberg, Ontario. 

Have a look at the difference one donation can make to the work we do. And remember that when you support TFL each dollar you donate is matched at least once through the Two Billion Trees Program through Natural Resources Canada.

Plus, our tree-planting partners contribute value in a variety of ways - plants and materials, maintenance, and expertise to name a few.

Does Trees For Life stretch your charitable giving?  You bet we do.

A sincere thanks to Jeff for planting seeds (and trees), and growing partners, to the entire team including Marina, our new manager of Planting Partnerships, and you for your continued support.  

We are always interested in making new friends. Reach out to Marina (marina@treesforlife.ca) to learn more about the ways TFL can support your urban greening goals.

I hope you can celebrate National Forest Week by getting outside, and maybe even planting trees!  Visit our website for a list of events near you.

Sincerely,

Mark Cullen
