Great Lakes Green Events is a new initiative aimed at encouraging destination stewardship and environmentally beneficial practices for conferences and other events in the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region. Through Great Lakes Green Events, event organizers commit to promoting and implementing environmentally sustainable practices. Green Events create a positive footprint by supporting tree planting projects that benefit local communities and the entire region for years to come. 

Green Event organizers commit to making a financial contribution to the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Trees Initiative. The Trees Initiative aims to plant 250 million trees across the region by 2033. Participants in Great Lakes Green Events will help achieve these goals. Financial contributions from events will support regional tree planting including on-the-ground partners planting trees in local communities. Commit to hosting a Green Event today!
