On May 9, 2026, Living Green Barrie is holding a fundraiser sale featuring native trees and shrubs for local residents. This event in Barrie, Ontario, is designed to help the community reach the milestone of planting 10,000 trees across the city by the end of this year.
The money raised from the sale goes directly toward the 10,000 Trees initiative, which focuses on improving the health of the local forest and environment. Organizers want to make it easier for people to add native greenery to their private properties by making the plants more affordable.
According to the Barrie Community Foundation, the project is a key part of fighting climate change and protecting local nature. By removing the high price of buying trees, the group helps more citizens take part in environmental action.
Living Green Barrie Executive Director and arborist Andee Pelan works with the organization to ensure that cost is not a barrier for those looking to plant new trees. The group frequently partners with other local organizations like Pollinate Barrie to support these community planting efforts.
