Planting Trees in Whitby as Part of Two Billion Trees
“The funding provided by Natural Resources Canada through the Two Billion Tree Program is a game changer. Not only will we be able to support a wealth of worthwhile planting projects, but our donors will be highly motivated to continue to provide support knowing that it is being matched by our federal government. This allows us to continue to focus on our mission of planting trees where Canadians live, work and play — and the Lynde Shores Conservation Area restoration project is a great example of the kind of ecological and social benefits we’ll see as a result of our work.” - Mark Cullen; President, Trees for Life
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
This year, Trees for Life is funding the planting of just under 9,000 trees with the TRCA. These trees will be planted at locations such as the Nashville Resource Management Tract, Boyd Park Conservation Area, King's Park, Claireville Conservation Area and more.
