Tree Canada's National Tree Day Planting Event in Mississauga

Tree Canada is excited to celebrate National Tree Day (NTD), presented by BMO. This is the biggest NTD celebration yet, with planting events taking place across the country on both the Wednesday and Saturday of National Forest Week.

Join us to plant trees in your community and connect with nature. Volunteers will participate in planting 600 trees and 400 shrubs, mulching, and removing invasive species (buckthorn). Tree Canada experts and volunteers will be there to provide support and answer your tree questions. We’ll also provide gloves and shovels! This event is completely FREE!

We are thrilled to continue our support for the greening of Totoredaca Park! This event aims to strengthen the wildlife corridor from Totoredaca Park to other parks in Ward 9 and enhance the park's biodiversity. In 2023, a large section of the park was mowed, and the City of Mississauga soon began replanting it with native trees and shrubs as part of their One Million Trees campaign, aiming to expand the woodland area. So far, the woodlot has increased by 0.5 hectares. This new planting will further expand the woodlot to a total of 0.75 hectares, roughly the size of a soccer field.

Totoredaca Park, situated in an industrial area between a hydro corridor and two major highways, will benefit from this planting by helping to offset the carbon emissions from the surrounding areas.

This is a catered event! Volunteers can redeem a meal for free, courtesy of Harvey's food truck.

Volunteers should wear and bring the following:

• Water bottle
• Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots
• Long pants
• Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Hat

This rain or shine event will take place unless the forecast calls for thunderstorms or very heavy rainfall.

We look forward to planting with you!
