Home Hardware Stores Limited and Tree Canada dug in at 36 locations across Canada to plant and look after large trees in celebration of National Tree Day. In recognition, Home Hardware dealer-owners hosted tree planting and maintenance events throughout the fall in their local communities.
Rather than planting small saplings, Home Hardware dealer-owners plant and help look after large, mature trees in the urban areas of communities such as arenas, soccer fields, schoolyards and community centers.
“For 21 years, Home Hardware has partnered with Tree Canada to improve green spaces across the country by planting and looking after 19,139 trees valued at over $860,000,” Home Hardware President and CEO Paul Straus said. “This is just one example of the countless ways Dealer-Owners from coast- to-coast give back to their communities.”
