Signature event

Tree Giving Initiative

September 12, 2022

200 trees for 200 years: The tree giving initiative symbolizes the love of learning that McGill has instilled for generations across Montreal and its wider community.

On Monday, September 12, to launch the Sustainable Futures Festival, McGill’s Bicentennial Office, in partnership with Macdonald Campus Farm and Facilities Management and Ancillary Services, is gifting plum trees to elementary and high schools across Greater-Montreal. This synchronous event kicks off back-to-school season in a positive light by encouraging children to care for nature, and to learn about their tree and its benefits on the environment. The tree giving initiative symbolizes the love of learning that McGill has instilled for generations across Montreal and its wider community.

 

In the spirit of Sustainable Futures…

Throughout the week, McGill University will be gifting thousands of plants to the McGill and Montreal community. Learn more about the Community Plant Giveaway.
