December 3rd is Giving Tuesday, the world’s largest generosity movement, and we need your help to spread the word about Rewilding Canada. To mark this day Project Forest is launching the Tree UNselfie Challenge — a social media campaign that celebrates our connection to nature and amplifies our mission of rewilding Canada’s landscapes, one forest at a time.
What is the Tree UNselfie Challenge?
The concept is simple: Instead of taking a traditional selfie, we’re asking our community to share photos of themselves with trees! Whether you’ve planted trees with us at a Corporate Planting Events, volunteered at a seedling giveaway, attended a groundbreaking ceremony, or simply love spending time in nature, your tree UNselfie has the power to inspire action.
Why Participate?
Every shared photo helps spread awareness about the importance of rewilding in Canada. Your participation on December 3rd will helps us:
- Expand our reach to potential new partners and supporters
- Share the impact of our rewilding projects
- Build a stronger community of environmental advocates
- Inspire others to get involved in local rewilding efforts
How to Participate
1. Find Your Photo
- Have you planted trees with us? Share a photo from your Corporate Planting Event!
