Want to Help TreeEra Replant Trees in Canada?
TreeEra has a goal to restore 1 hectare of land that has been burned by wildfires so far in 2021 in Canada. Our starting goal is to replant 1,600 trees. Want to get involved? For the price of brunch, a good book, or for the cost of an Alexa speaker, you could be part of the solution.
If buying trees isn’t in your budget right now, that’s ok! Start small and sign up for the TreeEra newsletter. Not only will we ensure one tree is planted, for free, on your behalf, but you’ll also receive fun weekly updates on things happening in the “comminu-tree”.

How To Help Prevent Forest Fires
While a lot of the wildfires in 2021 have been started by lightning after weeks of heatwaves and extremely dry conditions, it is still common for fires to be started by humans. It is important to understand fire safety and the many ways that we can help prevent fires from starting in our communities.
TreeEra is trying to replant 1,600 trees by August 31, 2021.
