We recently partnered with Cirque du Soleil and Ville en Vert to plant 50 urban trees in Montréal!
The goal of this planting was to increase the tree canopy around a low-income housing complex in Saint-Michel, Québec. Urban spaces like these face a range of issues, including vulnerability to heat waves and pollution from nearby industrial activities. The addition of over 50 mature trees will have a significant impact on resident’s quality of life, and help build a more resilient community as a whole.
Tree planting captures our imagination, similarly to Cirque du Soleil’s shows. Every tree is the promise of a greener future, where nature thrives and the well-being of present and future generations is protected.

Our Urban Tree Notes series is our way of bringing you along with us as we travel to cities around the world to get our hands in the dirt and plant urban trees. Increasing tree canopy in under-resourced neighborhoods ensures that everyone has equitable access to the critical ecosystem services and recreational opportunities that trees provide.
Restoring native plants to areas where the land has been developed is vital to ecosystem health because native species are uniquely evolved with the local region and environment. Native wildlife, which includes birds, insects, mammals, reptiles, and more, have co-evolved with these native species and depend on them for survival.
Diverse plantings like this one help to provide the richly layered habitat that wildlife needs, especially in urban areas where habitat is fragmented and quality food sources can be scarce. One Tree Planted is proud to work with Ville en Vert and Cirque du Soleil to make a difference in urban communities!
