Join us in Celebrating National Forest Week

Our personal health and well-being are closely connected to the health of our natural environment. Numerous studies have shown that forests and the presence of trees are linked to a significant decline in stress levels . Forests are also linked to improved rehabilitation, faster hospital recovery rates, and enhanced memory.

While we may support the forests we love in different ways and have a unique, meaningful connection to our favourite natural spaces, we also know that spending time outdoors plays a crucial role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our communities from coast to coast to coast.

Join us in celebrating National Forest Week and give today to help conserve, restore and grow healthy, resilient forests to sustain life and communities.

We recently asked our Forests Ontario team – “When you spend time in a forest, what do you feel?” Here’s what they shared:

In some regions of Canada, forest cover is as low as three per cent, compromising the health of our ecosystems and their inhabitants. When you donate to Forests Ontario, you are helping to restore the vibrancy and integrity of our forests, which increases the presence of this natural stress reducer, physical and mental ability booster, and improves our collective health and wellbeing.

Join us in making a difference this National Forest Week and know that your small gift today will have big impact for generations to come.
