National Tree Day

Join the Township of West Lincoln in celebrating National Tree Day!

National Tree Day is celebrated across Canada on the Wednesday of National Forest Week, which is observed annually during the last full week of September. Since its inaugural celebration in 2011, National Tree Day has helped to recognize the many benefits that trees provide — clean air, cooler cities, wildlife habitat and connection with nature.
