Together, we are growing something truly beautiful.
We just reached our 50 million tree milestone!
We are incredibly proud to have supported the planting of 50 million trees on more than 10,400 project sites across Canada. The collective environmental and economic impact of all those new and restored forests are an important part of our history, but we also know our work has only just begun.
Faced with increasing wildfires, biodiversity loss and extreme weather events, it’s more important than ever to continue with the movement we have started.
On behalf of all of us at Forests Canada, thank you to everyone who helped to make our 50 million tree milestone possible.

Support Canada’s Forests
Trees and forests are an integral and interwoven part of our daily lives. As a national charity, we exist to conserve, restore, and grow diverse, resilient forests to sustain life and communities, but we know we can’t do it alone. There is no greater time to act than now to show your support for our natural world with a donation to Forests Canada.
What's New
Forests Ontario is now Forests Canada!
As Forests Canada, we are doing the same important work, it is now with a stronger national focus on improving forest connectivity and biodiversity, increasing much needed wildlife habitat, and advocating for healthy ecosystems in and beyond local communities across the country.
