Sept 26 Tree Planting Event.png

Plant a tree. Grow a future.

Join the Halton Environmental Network for a free, hands-on community tree-planting event at the Oakville Food Forest! Together, we’ll create a greener, more resilient space that supports local food, biodiversity, climate action, and community connection.


Saturday, September 26, 2026

10 a.m.–1 p.m.

Kingsford Gardens - 2480 Sherwood Heights Dr., Oakville

Register in advance by emailing volunteer@haltonenvironment.ca, or simply show up on the day and join the fun!

 

No experience is needed - just bring your enthusiasm and get ready to dig in! We’ll provide shovels, gloves, snacks, drinks, and a pizza lunch. Volunteer hours are also available.

 

There’s something deeply rewarding about planting a tree and knowing your work will provide food, habitat, shade, and connection for years to come. This important work helps build healthier communities and a more climate-resilient future - one tree at a time.

 

Bring a friend, meet your neighbours, and help us grow something meaningful!

As a community, we have the responsibility to honour, care for and respect all the Creation gives to provide us with life. This includes the land, water, air, fire, animals, plants and our ancestors. The Anishinabek Peoples have utilized this land for millennia and we would like to acknowledge their direct descendants, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as the rightful caretakers and titleholders of this land upon which we live, work and conduct ourselves. We acknowledge our treaty relationship and responsibilities to both the land and these original peoples. We also recognize that this land is rich in pre-contact history and customs, which includes the Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee and since European contact, has and continues to become home for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. And it is in the spirit and intent of the Dish With One Spoon, wampum agreement whereby we will collectively care for and respect the land, water, animals and each other in the interests of peace and friendship and for the benefit of not only ourselves but of our future descendants.  
The HEN Office resides on Treaty 22, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
