Join us at Bruce’s Mill Conservation Park for our annual earth week event to plant 5,000 trees and shrubs on April 28th, 2024.
10,000 Trees for the Rouge is a volunteer, non-profit group in Ontario, dedicated to restoring natural habitat within the Rouge Valley, located on the northeastern outskirts of Toronto. They organize several planting events each year with annual Earth Week planting event being their signature event which attracts over 2,000 volunteers. The plantings protect creeks and streams in the Rouge watershed from soil erosion, helping to link existing islands of forest and extending wildlife corridors.
We Lions, at the MELC have decided to make it our yearly project to join hands with the 10,000 Trees for the Rouge. Over the past 24 years, 10,000 trees has reclaimed over 171 acres of fragile watershed lands and planted over 168,000 trees. But we can’t do it without the energetic participation of everyone who comes out to plant.
