Be part of a legacy that’s been greening the GTA since 1989! 10,000 Trees for the Rouge invites you to join thousands of neighbors in restoring the beauty and health of the Rouge Valley.
Best known for their massive Earth Week event that draws over 2,000 volunteers, they have already reclaimed 270 acres of nature. By joining them, you’ll help protect local streams, bridge forest fragments, and build vital wildlife corridors. Help them grow the future—one tree at a time.
The Markham Elite Lions Club (MELC) is proud to announce our annual partnership with 10,000 Trees for the Rouge!
We invite you to join hands with us as we support their vital work in restoring the Rouge Valley. This mission thrives on community energy—it is the combined power of students, families, and local neighbors that makes this environmental restoration possible. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a first-time planter, your hands-on participation is the heart of this project.
Together, as a community, we can grow a greener future.
We can’t do it without the energetic participation of everyone who comes out to plant. Grab your gloves and join the Lions at the event on May 3rd!
