Helping you celebrate, memorialize and thank the people that matter most by planting living legacies in their honour.

Continuing the Highway of Heroes tradition of creating living legacies, Trees for Life is proud to plant trees that pay tribute to the heroes who protect and enrich our lives. These heroes may include first responders, front-line and healthcare workers, neighbours, coaches, the military and loved ones. A hero is in the eye of the beholder!

See below for more information on our Trees for Heroes program and how you can honour your hero by planting a tree in their name.

What are Hero Trees?

The right trees in the right place – hardy, native trees, typically 1.5 metres and several years old, will be planted within partner project sites. Plant one or many trees to honour, or in memory of a friend or loved one. Simply select your donation amount, then tell us how you would like to personalize your certificate.

Supported by Trees for Life’s, Trees for Heroes program, Trees for Health is a coalition of passionate organizations partnering with health facilities, municipalities, and conservation authorities to plant trees in honour of health workers.

The need for vibrant public green spaces in our communities and the links between access to them and our physical and mental health is clear. It’s one reason Trees for Life is driven to plant trees for the benefits they provide us AND in recognition of heroes.

Health workers do everything they can to keep us safe and healthy. Let's return the favour by increasing green spaces where they work.
