Tree Planting

Plant Trees With Us!

We protect the Credit River, those living in the Credit River Watershed, and its wildlife. One of the most important actions we can take is tree planting. Since 1955, we’ve planted over seven million trees with residents, community groups, corporations and landowners.

When you participate in one of CVC’s tree planting programs, you are helping to restore nature and improve your community by:

Increasing forest cover
Fighting climate change
Creating wildlife habitat
Increasing property value and adding variety to your landscape
Improving water quality in our streams
Protecting groundwater supplies
Improving your outdoor recreational activities
