This Toronto park is home to the first of what will soon be two billion trees
Toronto, already dubbed a "city within a park," is about to get a whole lot greener.
Rouge National Urban Park, the largest urban park in North America known for its offerings of trails through Carolinian forest, is getting 26,000 new trees this spring.
The planting of these trees come as part of a wetland and riparian restoration project with Forests Ontario, Parks Canada, and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) – and will be the first of many.
There are plans for two billion more across Canada over the next decade with the 2 Billion Trees program that was announced back in 2019 amid plenty of climate protests throughout the country.
