Tree for Free Registration 2024
Help Us Rebuild Toronto’s Tree Canopy
The City of Toronto has a goal of reaching a 40% tree canopy coverage by 2050. Toronto’s urban forest is a critical component of the city’s green infrastructure. Trees provide important environmental, ecological, physical and mental health, social, cultural and economic benefits and contribute to climate resiliency. They provide habitat for a wide range of birds, mammals and pollinators.
The 2018 Tree Canopy Study identified that the greatest amount of potential space to grow trees is on private land in Toronto. You can help grow the tree canopy in Toronto by planting new trees on your private property, and our Tree for Free program is a great way to participate.
Because this program is funded by the City of Toronto, trees ordered under Tree for Free are to be planted on private property within the City of Toronto.
Pick up your Free Tree at Humber College Lakeshore Campus on Saturday, May 25th, from 10:00am – 12:45pm.
Please note that we will give away any unclaimed trees starting at 12:45pm to walk-ups.
The deadline for placing your order is Midnight, Tuesday, May 21st. We need to allow time for the nurseries to pick up and assemble our orders.
Individuals are limited to ordering two (2) trees.
