Bring your shoreline to life with native seedlings while supporting the Muskoka Lakes Association! Family Seedling Day is a great opportunity to enhance your property with affordable, hardy trees and shrubs that are perfectly suited to Muskoka’s natural environment.

Planting native species is one of the most effective ways to care for your shoreline. These plants help protect water quality, stabilize soil to reduce erosion, and create essential habitat for local wildlife—all while adding natural beauty to your landscape. By participating, you’re not only improving your own property, but also contributing to the long-term health of the lakes we all cherish.

Seedlings can be ordered through the MLA, making it easy to take part in this impactful initiative. Whether you’re restoring a shoreline, enhancing your property, or simply looking to give back to the environment, Family Seedling Day offers a simple and meaningful way to get involved.

We’re also excited to welcome a number of special guest organizations, who will be on-site to share information, answer questions, and connect with the community:

• Safe Quiet Lakes
• Friends of Muskoka Watershed
• The Land Between
• Township of Muskoka Lakes Fire Department

Join us for a day of community, learning, and environmental stewardship—and take home seedlings that will grow benefits for years to come.

The Muskoka Lakes Association's Family Seedling Day is a cherished annual event that encourages environmental stewardship by providing native tree and shrub seedlings to members and the community. Held at the Port Carling Community Center on the Saturday before the May long weekend, this initiative supports reforestation and shoreline restoration efforts across Muskoka. Families can pre-order a selection of seedlings starting in February and take part in preserving the region’s natural beauty for generations to come. Visit our Shop to order online, or print the form below and submit it to our office.

Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who made the event a success.

We would also like to thank our friends from Forests Ontario, Friends of Muskoka Watershed, & The Land Between

Thank you for your orders and happy planting!
