Tree planting is an invaluable initiative that can improve water quality, reduce soil erosion, create wildlife habitats, enhance forest biodiversity, increase farmland productivity, and among many other benefits – enrich and improve individual and community well-being.

Subsidized Tree Planting
How Our Program Works!
Through our funding partners, we provide a full-service tree planting program that offers site assessments, project planning & mapping, land preparation, invasive species management, the purchasing of seedlings, tree planting services, post-plant tending, and years of expertise at a subsidized cost.
To be eligible for this program, landowners must:
Have an open planting area of at least 0.5 acre in size, and/or be able to support a minimum of 500 trees for afforestation projects
Have a planting area of at least 2.5 acres (1 hectare) in size for restoration projects
Have a 1000 metre distance of land for windrow or riparian buffer planting
Sign a Landowner Tree Planting Agreement that ensures the protection and management of the planting project for 15 years.
How much does it cost?
Landowners are required to make a contribution payment towards each tree planted. This is a variable rate unique to the scale of the project and each landowners’ goals and objectives. Typically, landowners can expect to pay between $0.25 to $2.00 per seedling, which must be paid in full upon entering the Landowner Tree Planting Agreement.
If the landowner provides an in-kind contribution for their tree planting project, they may be eligible for a lower contribution cost per tree.
