ReForest Woolwich is a non-profit charity formed by a group of dedicated local residents and environmental experts. Our goal is to protect the environment for everyone's benefit by planting trees and restoring natural habitats. We aim to help lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve ecosystems in Woolwich Township and surrounding areas for the long term.
To achieve this, we aim to increase the amount of tree cover in Woolwich Township's urban areas from 16.3% to 32% by 2070. We plan to do this by working with businesses, local government, non-profit organizations, and community volunteers to plant a lot of trees over the next 10 years. This will give the trees time to grow and expand their canopy by 2070.
We will build on the success of the Roadside Tree Planting Project and Elmira Nature Reserve projects, which developed repeatable ways to plant many trees at relatively low cost.
We have the methodology; now let’s scale it up!
One of our key goals is to make a positive and lasting difference in the community. A great way to achieve this is by working together with local donors, volunteers, and at-risk youth. This not only improves the environment around us but also strengthens our community and its social connections.
