This Giving Tuesday Help PLT Canada Foster a Lifetime of Learning

November 21, 2023

Imagine what introducing one child to nature through Project Learning Tree Canada (PLT) can do.

Imagine a little girl learned how forests improve water quality through a PLT activity. It sparked her curiosity and ignited a passion for the environment. Now she’s a water quality engineer, improving access to clean drinking water. All because of one teacher doing one activity with this one little girl.

Now imagine the positive impacts 145 million students have made on our environment, thanks to the 765,000 educators who have been leading PLT activities in communities across North America for over 45 years. Imagine the impacts 7,000+ young adults we’ve placed in green jobs across Canada have made. Imagine the impacts 600+ PLT green mentors and mentees have made. 

This Giving Tuesday, consider making a tax-deductible donation to PLT Canada so we can advance our mission of educating PreK-12 students about vital topics like biodiversity, sustainability, and climate-smart forestry and mentoring and training the next generation of forest and conservation professionals. Start building a greener tomorrow today.
