THOROLD, Ont. (Nov. 00, 2026) – The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) invited community members to get involved in planting 2,900 new native trees this fall through five TD Tree Days events taking place across the Niagara Peninsula watershed.
As part of NPCA’s Trees for All initiative, TD Tree Days events took place throughout September and October at locations across Niagara, Hamilton and Haldimand, providing volunteers with opportunities to contribute directly to local tree planting and restoration efforts.
The 2026 TD Tree Days planting schedule included:
- September 12 – Niagara Stone Road, Niagara-on-the-Lake: 600 trees
- September 12 – Hyslop Parcel, Hamilton: 600 trees
- September 19 – McAdam Skate Park, Thorold: 600 trees
- October 3 – Glengarry Park, St. Catharines: 600 trees
- October 24 – Ott Road Park, Stevensville: 500 trees
Through Trees for All, NPCA is working to increase forest cover, restore habitat, enhance biodiversity and improve climate resilience across the Niagara Peninsula watershed. TD Tree Days provides an opportunity to advance these goals while connecting volunteers with hands-on environmental stewardship in their communities.
Each planting contributes to a larger watershed-wide restoration effort. Trees planted through these events will help support future tree canopy, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, watershed health and climate resilience.
These trees were made possible through the generous support of community donors, the dedication of volunteers, and the support of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Foundation (NPCF), which helps connect people and resources to local environmental restoration projects across the watershed.
Planting day is only the beginning of the restoration process. Establishment, monitoring and ongoing care will help support the long-term success of the trees and the environmental benefits they provide.
By bringing together community members, municipalities, businesses, and environmental partners, NPCA continues to advance restoration projects that support healthier ecosystems and a more resilient watershed.
