Growing a Greener Future: The Lions Green Canopy Project

Imagine this: a child planting their first tree, a group of volunteers working side by side in the fresh air, and communities coming together to create a lasting impact.

This is the vision behind the Lions Green Canopy Environment Project – a bold initiative launched by Lions Australia to make a real difference for our planet.

At the 2024 Darwin Convention, Lions voted to embark on an ambitious mission: planting one million trees across Australia and Papua New Guinea by June 2027.

But we’re not stopping there – if the project continues, we aim to plant 500,000 trees every year after that.

Why trees? Because they cool our cities, clean our air, support wildlife, and protect our future.

And with the environment being the top concern for people under 40, this project is an incredible opportunity to engage younger volunteers and strengthen our clubs for the future.

The best part? Your club can partner with local councils, schools, Landcare groups, and other service organisations to make an even bigger impact.

Whether it’s replanting after bushfires, greening urban spaces, or restoring habitats, every tree planted is a step toward a healthier planet.

So, how can you get involved?

It’s simple: find a site, gather a team, and start planting.

Let’s work together to grow a greener future – one tree at a time.
