National Forest Week: Chris Gibson Park Tree Planting

Join us as we plant native trees and shrubs in ­­­­­Chris Gibson Park to celebrate National Forest Week 2025. Trees help fight climate change by storing carbon dioxide and providing natural cooling on hot summer days. They also create habitat for local wildlife and add beauty to your community.

Help us make the Fletchers Creek SNAP neighbourhood more sustainable and ready for a changing climate. This event is part of Fletchers Creek Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP).
