Tree Planting

Fôret Capitale Forest plants thousands of native trees and shrubs in the National Capital Region through community tree planting events. Since 2021, we have grown substantially and established numerous naturalization areas. Our tree planting programs focus on multiple methods of afforestation such as greenspace naturalization, Miyawaki tiny forests, and food forests.

What happens after trees are planted?

Tree care and stewardship is a key component of our programs and mission. Ensuring trees are healthy after being planted is crucial to any tree planting project.
