2. Social benefits: Planting trees can bring people together and create a sense of community. It can also provide opportunities for people to learn new skills and gain experience in environmental conservation.
3. Personal benefits: Volunteering to plant trees can be a rewarding experience, both physically and mentally. It can be a great way to get outside, connect with nature, and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Overall, planting trees is an important activity that can have a positive impact on the environment, and can provide many benefits for individuals and communities.
There are few things in life more satisfying, rewarding, enriching, fulfilling, and fun than volunteering for a worthwhile cause. Trees for Halton Hills is such a cause. We are committed to planting 65,000 trees in Halton Hills. That is one for every resident! Our volunteers have happily planned, prepared, and planted thousands of native trees and shrubs.
You can volunteer with us, whether at planting events or as part of the organizing committee.
Never leave your shovel facing upwards on the ground while planting your tree. It would be best to put the shovel in the ground standing up so everyone can see it. If this isn’t possible, lay your shovel on the ground facing downwards
