TREE CANADA
What they do:
We’re the only national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments.
Through our programs, research and educational efforts, we have helped restore tree cover in areas hit by natural disasters, guided communities in managing their urban forests, helped green 700 schoolyards and organized urban forest conferences.
To date, with our community partners and sponsors, we have planted more than 83 million trees.
THE PROJECT:
Grapes for Humanity has supported Tree Canada through several impactful initiatives aimed at combating climate change and promoting reforestation:
-
National Greening Program (2022): Grapes for Humanity committed $100,000 to Tree Canada's National Greening Program, funding the planting of 20,000 seedlings in 2023. This program helps capture carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, filter pollutants, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitat for wildlife, contributing to ecosystem health for future generations.
-
Tłı̨chǫ Lands Reforestation (2023 & 2024): Grapes for Humanity provided a gift totalling $293,000 to support tree planting of 41,857 trees on Tłı̨chǫ Lands in the Northwest Territories. This project accelerates the restoration of critical wildlife habitats, fights climate change, and rejuvenates local ecosystems.
These efforts reflect Grapes for Humanity’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its strategic partnerships to address climate change and support biodiversity. In total, this will bring the figure to 61,857 trees planted at the end of the project.
