Hanlon Creek Forest – Planting Day

Join us in planting a new forest in Guelph on Earth Day

 Parking, Site Access, and Environmental Fair at 335 Laird Road

Plant trees and enjoy the environmental fair with a variety of booths, entertainment, and food.

Trees, shovels, mulch, pails, and planting instruction provided.

Wear boots and gloves for your comfort.

Each tree you plant will sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old.

This site will take 4 years to plant and could become part of a future pollinator flyway.

Trees such as native oaks, sugar maples, and shrubs like serviceberries are popular with pollinators and are well suited to restoring our natural heritage system.  This new forest will help clean our air and water, and become a home for nesting birds and other animals. When the forest becomes mature, it will sequester approximately 6,000 tons of carbon every year.  The trees we plant will benefit generations to come – including the sugar maples that can be tapped and enjoyed b
