Downsview Park Community Planting

Get involved in an afternoon of planting and environmental stewardship!

Celebrate fall by increasing the biodiversity and natural beauty of Downsview Park. We'll work together to plant a selection of native shrubs and trees, expand Toronto's urban forest, and improve the health of our shared environment! This event is perfect for families with kids and adults who are excited to learn more about native tree and shrub species and how to plant them.
