Subsidized Tree Planting
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.
The tree planting program that we deliver provides a great opportunity for landowners throughout Canada to more affordably get involved in establishing or restoring forests on their property.

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, the purchasing of seedlings, tree planting services, and post-plant tending, 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 each landowners’ goals and objectives. Landowners can expect to pay between $0.50 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.
