Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC )is a $291M initiative that supports planting trees across the country, contributing to climate action. GCCC aims to plant at least 1.2 million new trees by March 31, 2031. The initiative is a part of GMF’s broader approach to nature-based climate solutions, which will achieve significant carbon sequestration and increase forest and community resilience to climate change. This fund will provide support to the accessible, ambitious, resilient and equitable expansion of tree canopies in communities. GCCC will support projects that contribute to incremental tree planting in and around population centres, such as community-wide urban planting, forest restoration in naturalized areas, and more localized planting projects
