Trees and trails: Give Grand

Looking to make a donation that makes your corner of the world better?  Choose to Give Grand! 

A donation of $30 will plant and support one local tree or will help care for a metre of trail, to enrich our environment and help people enjoy it. 

• Plant a tree: Each donation will plant a tree on GRCA lands in the Grand River watershed. Trees are vital to the health and wellness of our watershed and the people who live, work, and play here. Trees are chosen from species native to the area where they are planted, so they are suited to local conditions.
• Care for a trail: Each donation will help care for a metre of trail within the GRCA's trail networks and conservation areas. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people explore nature on these trails. They are a great opportunity for people to get outdoors, admission-free! 

Donations like this make great birthday gifts, or celebrations of other life milestones. If you are donating in someone's honour, you may request that notice be sent to that person. Charitable receipts are issued for donations.
