Eco-Activity: Make a difference with just ONE tree!

Plant Just One Tree

Today is World Biodiversity Day! World Biodiversity Day is a day to celebrate the incredible variety of plants and animals that live on our planet—and to each do our part to make sure they are preserved for generations to come.

Climate change is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity today, affecting Canada’s plants and animals everywhere. Did you know that one of the best ways we can help our planet and everyone who lives in it can be done in any outdoor space, big or small? All it takes is just ONE tree to make a huge difference!

For today’s eco-activity, we want you to put on your forester cap and get planting! Every good forester knows that different types of trees grow better in different regions, so the first thing you need to do is find out what kind of trees grow best where you live. You’ll find a handy planting guide in the Just 1 Tree Mission Brief, available in the Earth Rangers App! Remember, professional foresters are good PLANNERS before they are good PLANTERS!

The Earth Rangers App is where kids go to save animals! It’s free to join and you’ll have access to real-world Missions like this one. Plus, you can adopt an animal to support conservation projects, and learn all about animals in the Wild Wire Blog. Find activities like this, and so much more in the App!
