It’s always great to hear from our past grant recipients! Green Venture is an environmental non-profit organization based in Hamilton, Ontario and they’ve been working hard to support native species and increase biodiversity in their area. Check them out on Facebook to see what they’re up to!
Thanks to the Canadian TREE Fund, the Hamilton Community Foundation, & the Green Legacy County of Wellington Tree Nursery for making our Native Tree Growing Kits possible!
Over 90 red oak growing kits were reserved in less than 24 hours! We can’t wait to see your seedlings growing.
Did you know that oak trees are important food web trees? Oak trees support over 500 species of native insects and caterpillars!
All those juicy caterpillars become food for native birds, and then other animals eat those birds, and on it goes making a strong urban food web.
Especially in urban areas, a healthy ecosystem depends on native trees and the biodiversity they support.
By growing and planting native trees you are helping biodiversity and helping to grow our urban forest canopy for tomorrow!
