Plant a tree in your schoolyard or community and raise awareness about the benefits of trees.
As with most Development and Peace — Caritas Canada initiatives, the Tree-Planter badge involves a two-fold approach: action and education.
Investigate the plants that are native and hardy to your school’s specific ecozone; this will ensure a healthy tree for many years to come.
Check out TreeCanada’s grants and resources. Then, get planting!
Grow Green Awareness in your school and community. Optional: Planting a tree is a wonderful way to start (or continue!) a conversation around ecological justice. We encourage you to hold a school mass outside by the new tree, using readings and reflections from Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’.
