The Neighborhood Tree Giveaway Program is a community-led tree giveaway program in support of the City of Toronto’s goal of reaching a 40% tree canopy cover by 2050.
The Neighborhood Tree Giveaway Program offers residents anywhere in Toronto a free native tree that will contribute to the tree canopy in Toronto. The Neighborhood Tree Giveaway Program and the Bayview Village Association will work together to ensure that you receive a tree that is best suited for your desired planting space, provide a workshop on proper tree planting and tree care, and provide handy reference materials to care for your tree.
It is mandatory you provide your full address including your city when ordering your trees or your order will be cancelled. You must be a resident of Toronto (id will be checked) to participate in this event or your order will be cancelled. Multiple registrations from the same address and/or more than 3 trees in total will be cancelled.
