Looking to plant trees on your land? Generous subsidies are available from Trees Ontario. And we supply the planting crew.
Planting trees on your property can help fight climate change, increase wildlife habitat and improve water conservation. Trees Ontario is working with many tree planting partners across the province to deliver the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program.
Supporting landowners is our goal. Trees increase property values and improve the health of your land in so many ways. The 50 Million Tree Program makes planting very affordable. In most cases, about 75 percent of the costs will be borne by the program. Landowners with a productive area of one hectare or larger may be eligible.
Planting trees can support farmers by strengthening landscape resilience. Trees can shelter livestock and help control stock movement; provide shelter for crops and assist with soil management; reduce flood risk; and boost pollinators. A Trees Ontario rep will work with you to find the best solution for your property. Planting windbreaks, pond edges or marginal land can improve your operation. Simple hedgerows are a benefit to both crops and wildlife.
Contact Trees Ontario for a thoughtfully designed planting scheme tailored for your land, plus advice on tree maintenance and management. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025. Find out more about the program at www.treesontario.ca. Talk to local agent Tim Gray at 613-477-2981 or at This email address is being protected from spambots.
