Tee Canada: Trees do their part... let's do ours

    As human beings the first thing we think of when we hear human interactions with the world we are directed to all the bad things. Although it is true humans have had a large negative impact on the world we have also made a bigger positive impact.                   There are many organizations and projects created to provide a positive effect to biodiversity in the world.                                                                                                (1)
                                                                                                         
           
There are many organizations that express positive actions toward providing a better environment. One organization that stands out to me is called Tree Canada. This organization is strictly about planting and caring for trees. Tree Canada was founded in 1992, were it was their instruction to have a positive effect on climate change. The first executive director was named Chuck Geale (later President) also a companied by Carol Anne Esnard, the first Deputy Executive Director (later Vice-President). They also consist of many volunteer workers.  By being a part of Tree Canada you gain education, technical assistance, resources and financial support with the help of working partners coming together to plant and care for trees.

…A results-oriented organization dedicated to the delivery of tangible, tree-related programs.
…Dedicated to the principles of stewardship and partnerships.
…An organization responsive to people, that takes pride in giving top notch service
…National in scope, community in focus.
Engaged in the greening of Canada and believes in  "Trees to Live"

               


            As an organization Tree Canada wants to promote the importance of the life of trees.  They do so by the mass amounts of volunteers involved. These volunteers constantly promote the significance of tree life and the way you, as a citizen, can help save and care for trees. Tree Canada demonstrates the empowerment in communities to sustain the life of trees in urban and rural areas.

Any one of us can help Tree Canada continue their distribution of trees all over the country. Tree Canada has planted 76 million trees in Canada with the help of many institutions that have infested their funds towards this organization. Without their help and yours Tree Canada would not be able to share the gift and importance of trees in our Communities.
