WHAT’S HAPPENING?!
Coming Events, Important Dates, News You Can Use!
Thank you for your generous support—your contribution helps us continue our mission to build a sustainable, thriving community and brings us one step closer to realizing our vision of a greener, more resilient Barrie for future generations.
Help Build a Greener Barrie!
Living Green Barrie is the city’s only registered environmental charity, working alongside the City of Barrie to advance climate action and sustainability. From community tree plantings to free educational programs, our work directly supports Barrie’s Climate Change Mitigation Plan and the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. While we receive in-kind and occasional project support from the City, we are not municipally funded and rely on the generosity of people like you. Your donations and sponsorships empower local action, strengthen community resilience, and bring us closer to a cleaner, greener Barrie for all.
We are honouring Earth Day on Saturday April 26th 2025.
Enter to win a basket of green goodies and take home a baby tree!

Spring Cleaning? Recycle Your E-Waste!
Now’s the perfect time to gather up your old electronics and keep them out of the landfill! Recycle your e-waste and help fund Living Green Barrie’s 10,000 Trees Program. Plus, drop off your e-waste and take home a baby tree as a thank-you!
Students– Bring your forms and earn some volunteer hours!
All tree planting events are open to the public. No experience necessary. Community plantings are free to attend but we ask you to register so we know how many tools and trees to bring.
Plant your trees. Name your trees. Visit your trees.
SAVE THE DATE!
Pre-orders and list of available species will be posted in May.
Our annual “pop-up” native tree and shrub sale is going to be even bigger and better this year.
Thanks to the City of Barrie, we will be offering $10 TREES! We will have a wide selection of native trees and shrubs suitable for every yard at prices lower than retail.
Pollinate Barrie will join us again offering pay-what-you-can pollinator plants and all of the free advice you need to turn your yard into an ecological oasis.
Free mulch, planting and species selection tips from experts.
Community Support Makes It Possible!
Thanks to incredible local support and volunteer muscle, Living Green Barrie has a new tree nursery!
We’re deeply appreciative of Beacon Environmental for generously hosting our trees over the past few years. As their trees flourished and shade increased, it was time for us to relocate.
With funding from the Barrie Community Foundation’s Vital Barrie Grant, we were able to purchase the supplies needed to build a secure, functional nursery space. A special thank you to St. George’s Anglican Church for welcoming us onto their property—our trees, shrubs, and native plants now have the perfect balance of sun and shade to thrive.
Finally, a huge shoutout to our volunteers—your strength and strategic thinking made Stage One of this project a success!
We couldn’t do it without our incredible Sponsors and Partners—thank you!
