LEAF is now offering a do-it-yourself version of LEAF's Backyard Tree Planting Program to residents of Northern York Region. Our native trees and shrubs are available for pick-up or delivery to homeowners starting in fall 2010. To order your trees and shrubs for fall, follow the four easy steps below! Species availability is limited, so order yours today!
