10,000 Trees For the Rouge

10,000 Trees for the Rouge plants trees throughout the Rouge River watershed, which spans the Greater Toronto Area and extends into Durham Region. The organization focuses on reforestation and habitat restoration in this ecologically significant area, working to increase tree canopy coverage, improve water quality, and create wildlife corridors. By establishing native trees and shrubs, the charity helps prevent erosion along riverbanks and wetlands while supporting the long-term health of the Rouge ecosystem. The work involves community volunteers in planting initiatives and environmental education, connecting residents of Pickering and surrounding communities to the natural landscape they depend on.
