Ontario

One Dollar. One Tree.

Planting trees in Ontario will help restore essential forest cover that has been lost to natural disasters and land degradation, building healthy forests for generations to enjoy! Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Increase forest cover to build healthy forests
  • Promote mental and physical well-being
  • Improve water and air quality
  • Given its remarkably large land area, Ontario is home to many beautiful and diverse forests. From the northern lowlands around Hudson Bay, through the Boreal forest, and on to the deciduous forests in the south, a wide array of plants and wildlife call these forests home. By planting trees in Ontario, we will help build back what was lost to natural disasters and land degradation, helping iconic wildlife and supporting local communities for generations to come!
  • Reforestation in Ontario will greatly benefit communities, biodiversity, and the environment. Planting trees will restore critical watersheds, rebuild important wildlife habitats, and will ultimately combat climate change and global warming. By restoring forests in Ontario, healthy ecosystems will support healthy communities. Mental and physical well-being are intrinsically interconnected with the health of our natural environment. With each tree planted in Ontario, the health of communities is improved.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on our Ontario project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • To maximize the impact of your donation, our partner will determine the most appropriate species of tree to plant.

About Ontario

With more than 60% forest coverage, Ontario's forests account for about 17% of Canada's forest coverage. This amounts to about 71 million hectares, an area the size of Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands combined.

Ontario's forests are divided into 4 regional sections: the Hudson Bay Lowlands of the far north, the Boreal Forest of northern Ontario, the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Forest of southern and central Ontario, and the deciduous forest in Southern Ontario bordering the United States.

All of these regions hold their own unique biodiversity, but some of the wildlife that can be found in Ontario forests includes polar bears, woodland caribou, barred owl, black bear, and even flying squirrels!

Why Plant in Ontario?

Increase Forest Cover

Increase forest cover

With so many beautiful forests in Ontario, planting trees will help increase forest cover, bringing life to what was lost. Ontario's forests are also filled with remarkable plants and animals that will benefit greatly from increased forest cover.

Mental & Physical Well-Being

Promote mental and physical well-being

Mental and physical well-being are intricately interconnected with the health of our natural environment. Not only do green spaces encourage us to get outside and get active, but being around trees has proven to improve our mood, memory, and cognition.

Clean Air and Water

Improve water and air quality

Trees truly are the best climate warriors. They help clean the air we breathe and water we drink. With every tree planted in Ontario, our air becomes that much more breathable, and waterways become even cleaner.
