Get a Free Tree in Front of Your Home!

Urban Forestry Services plants trees on City owned street allowances fronting residential properties for free. For more information download The City’s residential street tree planting brochure or call (416) 338-TREE (8733). For an additional fee residents can order a larger tree. The City will provide advice on tree choice. Even if you have a mature tree on your front lawn, The City suggest that residents order a young tree that can get growing so it will make a nice, full replacement tree if something happens to the older tree.
