Trees for Hope 2026

Schools across the District are once again preparing to celebrate Earth Day by taking part in the annual Trees for Hope initiative, a hands-on environmental learning opportunity that connects students with nature and stewardship.

The Trees for Hope initiative continues to grow thanks to the commitment of school staff, champions, and classroom teachers who make environmental education meaningful and hands-on for students of all ages. Classroom planting activities often extend learning beyond science, supporting cross-curricular connections in Indigenous learning, numeracy, literacy, and social responsibility.

Thank you to all the schools and staff leads who are supporting this important annual initiative. A special thank you to Kim Fulton for assisting with the coordination of Trees for Hope. Everyone’s participation helps foster environmental awareness, responsibility, and hope—one tree at a time.

This initiative supports the District's Strategic Plan by fostering environmental stewardship, experiential learning, and meaningful connections to the world beyond the classroom.
