If you own 0.8 hectares (two acres) or more in York Region, we’ll plant a forest for you. Our experts will help you every step of the way: from funding assistance, to planning and planting, to tending your growing forest.
Funding for your forest is available and could cover up to 90% of the cost.
A forest is a gift that grows for generations.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
We can help you establish a new forest, connect or enlarge your existing forest, establish a windbreak or hedgerow along the edge of your property, or enhance your pond.
Your new trees will:
Increase your property value
Provide an opportunity to qualify for a property tax reduction
Increase privacy
Reduce home energy costs
Provide a beautiful view and a place for play
Reduce mowing and maintenance
Improve farm yields
