Urban trees are proven to increase local biodiversity and to reduce our environmental footprint by cooling and cleaning air and water. They also provide human benefits such as more desirable and active neighbourhoods. By focusing our most intensive efforts in low income areas, we increase social equality which is fundamental to stronger communities.
We need your help to get these trees into local neighbourhoods. Each season we will target a different neighbourhood that needs more trees, and we need strong volunteer support. Training dates and locations are to be announced, but we welcome you to sign-up now.
The Tree Blitz is a fun activity for everyone. Bring a friend! Groups and organizations are welcome to participate as well. Contact us for more information or sign up today to be a part of this exciting initiative.
As well, we really need folks with trucks or large vehicles to help us with logistics the during the
day of the event. If you can help this way - please email skylar@reforestlondon.ca directly.
The goal of the Tree Blitz is to plant 5,600 trees and engage over 300 volunteers over two years, changing these neighbourhoods for a lifetime.
