Free Backyard Tree Planting Program

Free Backyard Tree Planting
Program coming to CW to Celebrate Canada 150!

Here’s
your chance to make a lasting contribution to your neighbourhood by adding a
Sesquicentennial native tree to your yard.  NeighbourWoods, in
partnership with Green Legacy, Little Tree and four local arborists, is pilot
testing a new and innovative program to boost the number of trees in our
community.
Here’s how it works:
Residents who hire one
of the participating arborists to cut down a tree – for example a dying Ash
– will be offered one free replacement.   Customers have 2
options:
1)    A 3-4-foot paper birch, white
spruce or sugar maple provided by  Green Legacy.  Your arborist
can recommend which species is best suited to your site AND will even plant
it for you.
2)    For customers who prefer a
bigger tree,  a coupon for 15% off a tree purchased from Little Tree
Garden Market.  Little Tree offers a delivery and planting
service.

Participating arborists are:

Tree Care 226-820-3611
If you are interested in taking advantage of
this program, call soon because this offer is good until June 30 or until the
trees are gone.

If this new idea catches on, perhaps it can
become a program offered in the future – and even replicated in other
communities in Ontario.
