What is National Tree Day?

National Tree Day will serve as a celebration for all Canadians to appreciate the great benefits that trees provide us - clean air, wildlife habitat, reducing energy demand and connecting with nature.

When is National Tree Day?

Wednesday, September 21, 2011 marks the first National Tree Day.

On March 2, 2011 a private members motion to declare the Wednesday of National Forest Week, National Tree Day, received consent from the House of Commons. The motion was presented  by Royal Galipeau, M.P., at the urging of Tree Canada.
