The City of Mississauga has set a goal to plant one million trees by 2032. To date, we have planted almost 550,000. We have been doing our part in Ward 6 as well. Since last year, we have planted 1,975 native trees and shrubs in the Ward.
This achievement has been accomplished via 17 events in 13 parks thanks to the help of 755 volunteers and key Forestry staff.
