Why we plant trees

Tree planting is the most popular Earth Day event and one of the most common activities people associate with helping the Earth. Millions of trees are planted by Canadians each year. Planting is an act of putting down roots and contributing to the future. The simple act of planting a tree, helps the environment in so many ways.

Trees…
filter pollution from the air
help recycle water

prevent soil loss

create shade

give shelter from wind and rain

provide homes for animals
make food for humans and wildlife

provide an interesting, soothing, learning environment for children and your community
and much more!
Without trees, there would be no life on this planet!
