Instructions for Registration

1. Each adult must register and have a ticket in their own name.  Please register for one "Adult 18+ Tree Planter Ticket". If you are taking part with a group, identify your "group name".  If you are bringing minors under 18, identify the number of minors.  

2. If you are under 18, adult supervision is required. The supervising adult will identify the number of minors on their ticket.  Minors under 18 do not need their own ticket.

3. Planting Coaches: If you have taken the Planting Coach Training with us, please sign up as a Planting Coach! If there are no more Planting Coach tickets and you wish to attend, please contact us so that we can open up more tickets for you.  

What to expect at a 10,000 Trees Event?

• All events are free and open to the public. Feel free to invite your friends and family and attend as a group!

• Events usually last 3 hours. If you are only able to make part of an event, we encourage you to sign up for another event and to allow others the opportunity to attend instead.

• Tickets are limited based on the size of the planting area and the number of trees we have available.

• We only plant native trees! Native trees support native wildlife. All trees are native to southern Ontario and are selected to mimic a native forest habitat.

• No experience is required! A 10,000 Trees volunteer will demonstrate proper tree planting technique at the start of the event.

• Bring your own shovel and a 5 gallon bucket.  We will have extra shovels if you need one.

• Plant as many trees as you like.  But one well-planted tree will always be better than 10 poorly planted trees.  ​​
