This Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on the gifts of the land and the teachings rooted within the trees around us.

For many Indigenous Peoples, trees are more than part of the landscape. Trees are teachers and providers that remind us of our responsibility to care for the natural world. Native species like White Pine, often recognized as a symbol of peace and unity, Sugar Maple, which produces sap for our beloved maple syrup, and Red Oak, valued for its benefits to wildlife, each offer lessons about connection, reciprocity, and stewardship of the land.

As we gather in gratitude this season, we encourage our community to pause and appreciate the forests, waters, and ecosystems that sustain us, and to recognize the generations of Indigenous knowledge and care that have helped protect these lands. May this Thanksgiving holiday inspire reflection, respect, and a commitment to caring for the natural world for generations to come. 🧑🍁

Please note, our offices are closed today. We wish everyone a safe and restful holiday!

We are collecting American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) nuts to support our Community Tree Nursery operations! This native shrub produces clusters of leafy-covered nuts each fall, and those seeds can become future shrubs for local restoration and planting projects.

By donating hazelnuts, you're helping us collect, process, and sow native seed while supporting hands-on environmental education and nursery activities.
Please email [email protected] to coordinate a drop-off before arriving on site, or if you'd like help confirming whether you have American Hazelnut on your property.

Thank you for helping us grow a greener future! 🌱

As we look back on a busy September filled with tree plantings, seed collection, and hands-on nursery workshops, we're so grateful to have kicked off the season with our partners at Old Oak Properties.

From putting trees in the ground to sharing our passion for urban forests, it's been a month of growing, learning and connecting with our community! Thank you to for helping make this important work possible through their ongoing support and commitment to a greener future. πŸ’šπŸ‚

Thanks to the ongoing support of Old Oak Properties, we're excited to continue growing a greener, healthier community through another free native tree giveaway at our site at the Westminster Ponds Centre! Available species will be shared on our website event closer to the day.

Native trees do more than beautify our neighbourhoods. They provide habitat for wildlife, support pollinators, improve air quality, help manage stormwater, and contribute to a more resilient urban forest for generations to come. By planting a tree today, you're making a lasting investment in the environment and our community.

We are so grateful to Old Oak Properties for their continued commitment to environmental stewardship and community greening initiatives. Their partnership helps make programs like this possible, connecting residents with native trees and empowering more people to take part in creating a healthier local landscape.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today for our official ReForest London SPROUT grant recognition event in late September! πŸŽ‰

We are deeply grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Government of Ontario for their generous support of our SPROUT (Sowing Potential, Resilience, Opportunity, Understanding, and Trees) program.

With this funding, we will be able to offer environmental education programming to students in our Community Tree Nursery, teaching them about seed propagation and sowing techniques, tree care and maintenance. This program delivers unique classroom connections and builds job-ready skills for aspiring environmental stewards.

A special thank you to our local MPP Teresa Armstrong for celebrating this milestone with us last week! We were also so pleased to be joined by MPP Terence Kernaghan to mark the occasion.

This month, we're offering a selection of native trees for purchase, including Red Oak, Eastern Cottonwood, Kentucky Coffeetree, and Black Walnut. These remarkable species can grow into towering canopy trees reaching heights of up to 100 feet while providing shade, wildlife habitat, and environmental benefits for generations.

Every tree purchased helps support our ongoing environmental programs and community greening efforts.

Quantities are limited and available while supplies last. Additional native tree and shrub species may become available later this month.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the Survivors of residentials schools and remember the children who never returned home, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of this history.

We recognize the original caretakers of this land since time immemorial, and their foresight to act with the seven generations principle, ensuring that sustainable practices take care of the communities who follow us.

We recognize the importance of listening, learning, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation. Together, we can contribute to a future rooted in respect, understanding, and justice for Indigenous Peoples. πŸ‚πŸ§‘
