60+ trees in record time! 🌳✨

We are still smiling thinking about last Saturday’s Annual Tree Planting Day! A massive thank you to the 40+ incredible community volunteers, our seasonal staff and our dedicated Board members who showed up and brought so much energy to the park.

A special shoutout to .wpgsouth and .t.moyes for joining the planting crew! Thank you both for your ongoing dedication to Henteleff Park and our environment!🧤🌱

The park looks absolutely spectacular, and we are so proud of what this community can achieve in just a single Saturday morning. A huge thank you to everyone who put effort into organizing, planting and supporting this event. We can’t wait to watch these trees grow over the next decade!

Join us for a guided walk as we take a closer look at the forces shaping our local riverbanks. Whether you’ve noticed the changing landscape or are simply curious about the science behind the scenery, this session will offer a deep dive into the dynamics of our river.
During this walk, we will explore:
🌿What causes riverbank erosion and what are the indicators?
🌿Why does it occur in some areas and not others?
🌿What can be done about it?

Come prepared for an engaging discussion on how we can better understand and protect our natural environment!

Led by: Joel Wortley, P.Eng.

This walk will take place rain or shine (exception of lightning).
The walk may go off the groomed trail path please be prepared for potential mud, tall grass and rougher terrain.

Monarch butterflies are once again fluttering around Henteleff Park!

Monarchs live between two to six weeks, except for the last generation of the summer, which flies south to overwinter in central Mexico. It takes several generations to make the return trip north in the spring, so the Monarchs we see in Henteleff Park are the great-grandchildren of those that left Mexico.

🦋The beautiful Monarch Butterfly is an endangered species. Here’s how you can help:

🌸Monarch caterpillars can only feed on native Milkw**d. Plant milkw**d in your garden, checking to be sure you purchase native milkw**d because non-native varieties can harm the ecosystem.

🌸Adult butterflies consume nectar from wildflowers. Plant a variety of flowers in your yard. They enhance your landscape and support biodiversity.

🌸Avoid using pesticides, because they can kill butterflies.

🌸Enjoy caterpillars and butterflies with your eyes only. Catching butterflies or picking up caterpillars can harm the insect.

Visit Henteleff Park to see our wild, native milkw**d and beautiful Monarch butterflies.

World Environment Day 2026 raises awareness about climate change. Climate impacts are increasing — but so are the solutions.

🌿The Henteleff Park Foundation is part of the solution. Forests are critical carbon sinks that reduce environmental risk and protect biodiversity. Our non-profit charitable group of volunteers has planted over 5,000 trees and increased riverbank foliage by 300%.

🌲Join us on Saturday June 6th for our annual tree planting. Visit the park to see how a small group of volunteers can make positive impacts.

What’s blooming in Henteleff Park? 🌸 Inside the partly sunny or shaded wooded areas, you'll spot the beautiful Canada Violet (Viola canadensis)!

Featuring dainty white flowers with a purple tinge and yellow centres, sitting perfectly atop heart-shaped leaves. But they aren't just a pretty flower, they are a vital nectar source for native bees and a crucial host plant for caterpillars. 🐝✨

Swing by the park this week to catch them in bloom! 🌿

👉 We want to see your park adventures! Tag us in your photos or use to be featured!

Remember: Take only pictures, leave only footprints. 📸👣
