Trees for Schools

Thank you for your interest in our Trees for Schools program!
Since 2009, we have donated over 203,740 seedlings and 13,477 wildflower seed packets to Ontario elementary students in celebration of Earth Day each year. Copernicans hand-pack the seedlings and seed packets, which are then shipped to each school. We also include digital resources for educators to support their planting events.
We are currently wrapping up our 2023 event and already planning for 2024. Keep your eye on this page for exciting pictures of this year’s participants and their events.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the program coordinator, Alex Robinson, at treesforschools@copernicused.com.
