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.
