Support the Winnipeg Million Tree Challenge Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman is planting a seed for a citywide challenge he hopes will root one million new trees. About us We are the leading national tree planting charity in Canada. These trees will provide snow retention, shelter from winds, noise and dust reduction from vehicle traffic and recreational benefits for local residents.

Environmental benefits: This planting will provide food for wildlife, restore wildlife travel corridors, increase the aesthetic beauty of the area, allow carbon sequestration and clean air for all.

Project description: Tree Canada has partnered with Conservation Sudbury and the municipality of Greater Sudbury to support the restoration of areas in and around Maley Conservation Area, which was impacted by historic logging and mining operations. This area was affected by early logging and mining activities that left the area devoid of vegetation, with some acidic and metal contamination, and soils that eroded away leaving many exposed bedrock areas.

For these reasons, the site is not regenerating on its own and needs human intervention to restore the ecosystem. In , this Tree Canada project will increase the diversity of plants by planting native trees and shrubs.

Environmental benefits: The goal is to support the restoration of areas in and around the municipality impacted by historic logging and mining operations. Species planted: Green alder Alnus viridis ssp. Crispa , yellow birch Betula alleghaniensis , red oak Quercus rubra , red-twigged serviceberry Amelanchier sanguinea , mountain maple Acer spicatum , smooth serviceberry Amelanchier laevis , running serviceberry Amelanchier stolonifera , wild raisin Viburnum cassinoides.

Project description: This project will see 20, seedlings planted on the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg Reserve. It will provide social, ecological, economical, and biological benefits. It will contribute to a healthier watershed in the region and will increase the sequestration of carbon dioxide supporting climate change mitigation. Restoration of this forest will eventually create habitat for wide variety of birds, amphibians, small mammals, deer and bears.

Environmental benefits: This planting will restore forest cover to increase species diversity, improve wildlife habitat, create wildlife corridors, improve soil stabilization and hydrological features of the area. Species planted: Mixed hardwoods red oak Quercus rubra , sugar maple Acer saccharum , yellow birch Betula alleghaniensis , white pine Pinus strobus.

Project description: The site is located on the Chignecto Isthmus, the 23 kilometre strip of land joining mainland Nova Scotia to New Brunswick and the rest of the continent.

The Isthmus is the only land corridor for the movement of plants and wildlife between the two provinces, however it is rapidly being fragmented by clearcutting, development, and transportation. The resilience of the Tantramar region is entirely tied to the ecological health of the isthmus, which is now highly endangered.

This has made it a priority area for conservation initiatives. Project description: This project will restore their reserve which was affected by the Hanceville wildfire in The planting site is located within the Interior Douglas Fir ecosystem which spreads from in the east Kootenays, the Okanagan-Similkameen and Thompson region, and southern parts of the Chilcotin and Cariboo regions in BC.

The restocking of the area will support a healthy and thriving forested ecosystem. Environmental benefits: This tree planting will provide social, ecological, economical, and biological benefits.

It will contribute to a healthier watershed in the region and will increase the sequestration of carbon dioxide supporting climate mitigation targets. Trees will provide a safer environment and improved habitat for many animals, allowing more species to exist on the landscape. This zone is prime ungulate winter habitat White-tailed deer, Rocky Mountain elk, Big horn sheep due to lower snowpack and relative high grass cover.

Restoration of this forest will eventually create habitat for owls and woodpeckers. Environmental benefits: The site has high environmental and conservation value which fits into the SWF mandate towards protecting and managing areas of natural diversity.

They would like to reclaim and reforest these areas to native vegetation by supplementing the existing deciduous native species with native white spruce conifers to diversity the vegetative species on these sites.

The MWF Habitat Foundation is a non-government, non-profit, charitable organization established to receive, hold, maintain, and manage upland habitat in perpetuity. It is the oldest privately funded habitat foundation in Manitoba. We help fight food insecurity by planting fruit- and nut- bearing trees and shrubs in communities on publicly accessible sites.

Since , Tree Canada and its sponsors have completed over Edible Trees projects and planted over 19, fruit and nut trees in communities across Canada. These grants encourage and support community tree planting projects to create long-lasting benefits. By supporting greening initiatives and green infrastructure development projects, municipalities and their communities can benefit from services such as a reduction in heat islands, improving air quality, reducing noise pollution and improved stormwater retention, in addition to contributing to the psychological well-being of all its citizens.
