This year, RRCA is set to add 58,000 trees to the local landscape, while SNC will be planting more than 200,000.
For smaller projects, an Over-the-Counter Tree Seedling program is also offered. Both RRCA and SNC provide full-service planting, which may include significant subsidies through various partnerships. The annual Tree Giveaway also helps introduce residents to their conservation authority’s various tree planting programs, which help improve the area’s tree cover, flood resilience, wildlife habitat, and the overall health of local watersheds. Those successful at securing seedlings will receive an email confirmation with a pick-up date and location in their municipality in late April or May. Residents can visit their local conservation authority website or social media account to reserve their seedling bundles, while supplies last. “We couldn’t be more excited to join our member municipalities and neighbours at the RRCA to help put more trees in the ground and foster landowner environmental stewardship,” said John Mesman, SNC’s Managing Director, Property, Conservation Lands, and Community Outreach. Several native species will be available, including white pine, white spruce, white birch, yellow birch, bur oak, basswood, black walnut, mountain ash, bitternut hickory, nannyberry and smooth arrowwood. “We always look forward to partnering with our municipalities for this opportunity to meet community members and help them spruce up their properties with native tree seedlings.” “This year marks RRCA’s 24 th annual Tree Giveaway, and our fourth year joining SNC in this shared effort to enhance the region’s tree canopy,” said Lisa Van De Ligt, RRCA Communications and Stewardship Team Lead.
