Tree People
One tree for every resident of Lambton Shores.
Lakeshore Eco-Network is planting at least 14,000 trees on public land in Lambton Shores over four years — one for every resident. The project has been dubbed Tree People for exactly that reason.

Why Tree People?
Because trees are a good way to fight climate change and biodiversity loss. And who doesn’t love a tree?
- Trees provide shelter and food for wildlife. Oak trees, for example, are vital keystone species that support thousands of species of wildlife.
- Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and give off oxygen, helping to fight climate change.
- Trees clean the air and absorb water, reducing the risk of flooding.
- Trees prevent erosion and improve soil quality.
- Trees provide shade and cooling in the summer and protect from winter winds and cold.
- Trees improve mental and physical health and reduce noise pollution.
