What to expect at a 10,000 Trees Event?

• All events are free and open to the public. Feel free to invite your friends and family and attend as a group!

• Events usually last 3 hours. If you are only able to make part of an event, we encourage you to sign up for another event and to allow others the opportunity to attend instead.  

• Registration is required through Eventbrite. Each adult must sign up for their own ticket. Youth under 18 do not require a ticket but must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket. 

• Tickets are limited based on the size of the planting area and the number of trees we have available. 

• We only plant native trees! Native trees support native wildlife. All trees are native to southern Ontario and are selected to mimic a native forest habitat.

• No experience is required! A 10,000 Trees volunteer will demonstrate proper tree planting technique at the start of the event. 

• Bring your own shovel and a 5 gallon bucket.  We will have extra shovels if you need one.  

• Plant as many trees as you like.  But one well-planted tree will always be better than 10 poorly planted trees.
