2026 Tree of the Year Celebration
Join Reep Green Solutions and Tree Trust for a special celebration honouring our 2026 Tree of the Year winner: The Persistent Planetree (Kitchener)!
Trees play crucial roles in our communities, providing shade, supporting wildlife, and offering a connection to places we call home. Our Tree of the Year celebration is an opportunity to recognize one of these remarkable trees, learn more about its importance to our urban forest, and bring everyone together to appreciate the trees that make our neighbourhoods greener and healthier.
The event will include…
Celebratory remarks: Hear from Reep Green Solutions and community members about the Tree of the Year and the importance of protecting mature trees in our cities
Activities and cake: Take part in fun activities to share your appreciation for trees, and enjoy our celebratory cake
Tree walk: Join us for an opportunity to learn more about the winner and trees in the surrounding area (begins at 10:45 am)
We will gather at King Edward Public School, directly across the street from the winning tree, from 10 am to 12 pm on Sunday, November 8th. Drop-ins are welcome for the event, but please register for the tree walk to guarantee your spot.
