What is Root for Trees?
Root for Trees is the City of Edmonton’s volunteer tree-planting initiative dedicated to expanding our city’s urban forest through community-led tree planting. The Root for Trees program helps to expand Edmonton’s urban forest by planting trees for Edmontonians by Edmontonians.
Root for Trees plays a critical role in the landscape management process of naturalization. Over time, these grassy areas are planted with trees, shrubs and wildflowers and brought back to a more natural state, resulting in economic, environmental and quality of life benefits.
Benefits of volunteering with Root for Trees
- Expand Edmonton’s urban forest through tree, shrub and wildflower plantings
- Care for naturalized areas by reducing weed competition
- Protect local habitat and biodiversity
- Contribute to the local community

The Result
Our dedicated Tacada team spent the morning at Twin Brooks District & Nature Park planting a remarkable total of 328 trees—an impressive leap from last year’s count of 229. As a company, Tacada is focused on giving back to our communities and supporting environmental sustainability. Tacada’s commitment to Edmonton’s green future continues to grow stronger, one tree at a time!
