Help Regreen an Iconic Canadian Landscape
With your purchase, you're helping restore ecosystems in Sudbury, Ontario—a city once known for its barren, post-mining landscape, now globally recognized for one of the most successful environmental recovery efforts in the world.
Working with Veritree and the City of Greater Sudbury, your support will fund the planting and monitoring of five native trees as part of a broader urban and terrestrial reforestation effort.
Sudbury’s landscape was severely degraded by over a century of mining and smelting, leaving large areas stripped of vegetation. Today, this long-running regreening initiative continues by planting 25+ native tree species such as jack pine, tamarack, ironwood, and red pine. These species are specially selected for their ability to thrive in contaminated or nutrient-poor soils, improving soil health, enhancing local biodiversity, and creating greener, more livable communities.
What Your Support Means
- 5 trees planted and monitored with geospatial tools
- Strengthens a globally recognized restoration project
- Enhances urban air quality, biodiversity, and climate resilience
The City of Sudbury leads this work, using advanced monitoring technologies and working with residents, local schools, and community organizations to ensure long-term care and ecosystem health.
A Note on Carbon and Tree Planting
Tree planting plays a vital role in carbon sequestration, but it's a process that unfolds over decades. Trees planted in Sudbury are estimated to sequester approximately 0.67 tonnes of CO₂ over their lifetime, assuming they survive and reach maturity.
Supporting this project is not the same as purchasing certified carbon offsets (where carbon sequestration or avoidance has already been realized and verified). Rather, this is a nature-based action that helps restore degraded ecosystems and support healthier communities for generations to come.
