The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers (GSGP) created Great Lakes Green Events as a program under the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Trees Initiative - a regional effort to plant 250 million trees across the region by 2033. Great Lakes Green Events participants will help us achieve our goal. Financial contributions support regional tree planting including on-the-ground partners planting trees in local communities.
