Tree planting is an important and rewarding activity that improves the natural environment now and for future generations. Not only do trees provide services like protecting soil and crops, they also buffer rivers and streams from pollutants, create habitat for birds and animals and provide communities with clean air.
1. Order trees to plant yourself |
Landowners who live in the Grand River watershed and have more than 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of land are eligible to order trees from us. Tree orders can be reserved from the beginning of October through to the end of March. Tree pick-ups occur every spring starting approximately the third week of April through to the second Wednesday in May (depending on seasonal weather conditions). Tree orders are now closed. We are no longer taking new tree orders for spring 2022. |
2. Our private land tree planting program |
Landowners interested in a large-scale tree planting project and who have at least two hectares (five acres) of land may be eligible for a site visit with a GRCA Forestry Specialist. A site visit with a Forestry Specialist includes:

4. Support tree planting through the Grand River Conservation Foundation |
If you are interested in supporting tree planting but don’t have the ability or space to plant trees yourself, you can donate as little as $30 to the Grand River Conservation Foundation to support tree planting initiatives on GRCA lands. Go to the Foundation section of our website for details and for more information on donating. |
The Stewardship resources webpage has fact sheets, videos and other information to help you plan your project and care for your trees.
