TD Bank has selected Million Trees Miami-Dade County to receive a 2025 TD Tree Days grant to help support local tree planting efforts.
TD Tree Days is the bank’s flagship volunteer program dedicated to enhancing outdoor spaces through community planting events, implemented in collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation and local planting organizations. The grant allowed Million Trees Miami-Dade County’s staff and volunteers to plant 200 trees at Roberta Hunter Park in the South Miami Heights community on Sept. 10, 2025.
“I’m deeply grateful to TD Bank, the Arbor Day Foundation, and our Parks team for their commitment to growing a greener, healthier Miami-Dade,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Planting trees is one of the simplest yet most powerful actions we can take to combat climate change, protect public health, and create a more sustainable future for all.”
Since launching the TD Tree Days program in 2011, more than 22,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted with the help of over 9,000 TD volunteers from across the bank’s U.S. footprint. The program brings TD colleagues, their families, and local organizations together for planting events to help revitalize green spaces, especially in areas with limited tree cover.
“Miami-Dade Parks is proud to join TD Tree Days to advance our shared vision of a greener, healthier future,” said Miami-Dade County Parks director Christina White. “By planting 200 new trees, we are moving closer to our goal of 30 percent tree canopy coverage and creating cleaner air, cooler neighborhoods, and more vibrant public spaces for generations to enjoy.”
In 2025, approximately 1,900 more trees and shrubs will be planted this year in partnership with Million Trees Miami-Dade County and 19 additional organizations who were also awarded a TD Tree Days grant.
“Access to green spaces is essential to the health and well-being of our communities,” said Paige Carlson-Heim, head of Social Impact at TD Bank. “Through TD Tree Days, we’re proud to work with local organizations like Million Trees Miami-Dade County to enhance greener outdoor spaces that connect neighbors, improve air quality, and support the community of Miami-Dade County.
“We’re grateful to our volunteers, colleagues, Arbor Day Foundation and local planting organizations like Million Trees Miami-Dade County whose commitment to our 14th annual planting events help revitalize these green spaces for our communities from Maine to Florida.”
TD Tree Days is the bank’s signature volunteer and urban greening program. TD Tree Days contributes to the goals of the TD Ready Commitment through the Vibrant Planet driver of change, helping to grow and enhance green spaces that provide ecological services for stronger, more resilient communities.
