"Thanks to Canada's ChariTree Foundation for supporting our environmental programming and for helping kids in need experience the magic of an outdoor education." ~ Jacob Rodenburg (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed), Executive Director, Camp Kawartha + Trent University Instructor #EnvironmentalEducation

"Today’s child feels more comfortable in an air-conditioned mall then they do romping in a nearby woodland. Their parents do too." We have to do more to inspire kids' better nature. Exposure to #nature can reduce a child's stress level by 28%! Read more: ecoparent.ca/eco-parentin...

The ChariTree Foundation supports Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief's mango, orange, tangerine, lemon, guava & pawpaw tree planting program at schools in Malawi. Planting fruit trees provides nutritious food to students & the community, but also helps mitigate the effects of #climatechange.

"The children had a great day outside learning about the trees & how to plant and care for them. As the trees grow, they will provide important habitat & their shade will help maintain a healthy, cool water temperature". Thank you ChariTree!" ~ Blue Lake Camp #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalEducation

Two years ago today I was at #COP15 in Montreal. That's where Canada’s leaders inspired a historic plan to reverse nature loss. We must keep the momentum—especially for kids everywhere. We're halfway through #COP29. Let’s advance climate finance and halt #biodiversity loss. The clock is ticking...
