Branch out and leaf a lasting impact in Kingston: The Neighbourhood Tree Planting Program is back!

Ready to turn over a new leaf? The City’s popular Neighbourhood Tree Planting Program is back, offering discounted trees to Kingston property owners to enhance their property and help grow our city’s vibrant tree canopy. 

“Purchasing and planting a tree has many benefits for individual property owners and Kingston as a whole,” says Troy Stubinski, Public Works Operations Manager. “Trees provide shade, store greenhouse gases, give off oxygen, help remove pollutants from groundwater and help prevent soil erosion. They do many important jobs, and all while beautifying our community and promoting wellbeing for all. Together we can grow Kingston’s tree canopy and all enjoy a greener future.” 

From March 3 to 28, the City has 11 tree-mendous species up for grabs. Trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Property owners within the City can branch out and purchase up to three trees per property for $20 each (HST included). Trees purchased must be planted within the municipal boundaries of Kingston.  

Orders can be placed online, by phone or in person at select City locations. Visit CityofKingston.ca/NeighbourhoodTrees for complete details. Let’s root for a greener Kingston together!
