South Nation Wood Creations: Online Auction for Tree Planting

Bid on Local Wood Wares to Help Us Plant More Trees In Your Community

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, several of SNC’s in-person fundraising events, including its annual charity golf tournament, continue to be postponed. These events have previously funded environmental education programs for local youth and public Conservation Area accessibility features.

This year, SNC will once again host an online silent wood ware auction in October 2021 in support of tree planting initiatives across its 4,441 square-kilometre watershed jurisdiction in Eastern Ontario.

Trees and forests provide many benefits and services to society, including clean water, recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, carbon storage, watershed protection, flood and erosion control, and improved human health. They also help to beautify the landscape and provide shade and aesthetic appeal.

Our Goal

SNC is a not-for-profit, community-based environmental agency that relies on donations and self-generated revenue to protect and enhance the local environment.

Since 1990, SNC has planted more than 3.4 million trees across its watershed jurisdiction thanks to community and municipal partnerships and fundraising initiatives.

Over 230,000 trees were planted by SNC in 2020; but, with your support, we are hoping to surpass this number in 2022 to set an all-time record for the highest number of trees planted in one year by the SNC.
