Spruce Moose has a three key tree-planting and forest-preservation initiatives:
ReForest London; we are proud to be a Million Tree Challenge Partner right here in the Forest City. Starting later this year, Spruce Moose will allocate 1% of every sale* to fund a reforestation project within a London park, where 3'-7' native-species trees are planted and maintained! [*pre-tax, less-shipping]
If you're looking to make a direct donation to ReForest London (and get a tax receipt),tree sponsorships are available starting at $25 per tree.
Ecologi; ONE TREE is planted internationally for EVERY SINGLE ITEM sold! Yes, one tree for every item! Trees are planted in areas-of-need through Eden Reforestation Projects; currently, we are helping fund mangrove planting on this site in Madagascar and will soon be planting in 3 different countries!
SINCE SEPTEMBER 2020, WE HAVE PLANTED 6940 TREES WITH ECOLOGI. See more.
Carbon-Neutral Shipping; in addition to our reforestation initiatives, we also offset our carbon emissions from shipping for every online order. We do this via Offset by Shopify, who have partnered with Pachama, contributing to certified projects who are complying with the best-in-class carbon offset protocols and standards.
Located in Southwestern Ontario, Salthaven is committed to the care and rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned or otherwise compromised wildlife; their goal is to return healthy animals to their natural habitat.
We have teamed-up with prominent Guelph artist False Knees to donate $2 to Salthaven from the sale of every False Knees print on our website & at The Market!
We are also working with Peterborough artist The Critter Co and Toronto artist Oliver Stockley to donate $0.50 to Salthaven from the sale of every C.C./O.S. card on our website & at The Market!
Thanks to your support, SINCE JULY 2020, $1250 HAS BEEN DONATED TO SALTHAVEN!
Spruce Moose donates a portion of every sale to local charities and organizations, allocating a minimum of $1000 in product annually.
In addition to our committed amount, we also gratefully collect donations to the Spruce Moose Community Fund at checkout; customer contributions are allocated towards the absolute base-cost of goods which are then provided as donations to local charities and organizations.
Our own donations are typically goods and certificates which are also most-often used as auction items at fundraisers, typically raising a significant amount above their base cost. To date, donation items provided through the Community Fund have raised thousands of dollars towards local charities and organizations.

They're the reasons we love what we do.
Nothing beats Canadian-made when looking for quality, unique items which are "made-by-great-people"... and the talented artisans in the shop are some of the kindest people around.
With more than 30 skilled Canadian artists and artisans in the Spruce Moose shop, not only are you supporting Canadian makers, you're also supporting every artisan's Canadian-focussed processes from start-to-finish, including: Canadian suppliers of raw goods and materials; Canadian collaborators and designers; Canadian printing and manufacturing businesses; and Canadian businesses for branding, marketing, fulfillment, and shipping.
It is no exaggeration to say that purchases at Spruce Moose are helping directly support hundreds of Canadian businesses; businesses who, in-turn, also purchase locally.
