In some areas where our services are offered, we have additional funding to further subsidize our program! The following is a summary of these additional planting incentives.
Toronto Low-Canopy Incentive:
Toronto residents in eligible low-canopy, equity-deserving neighbourhoods qualify for free trees and shrubs. This incentive aims to increase access to planting services in low-canopy neighbourhoods to address inequalities in canopy cover across the city. Residential properties receive one free tree OR two free cedars OR one free pair of pawpaw trees and up to three free shrubs and multi-unit & business properties receive two free trees OR four free cedars and five free shrubs per property per year (space permitting). First come, first served.

Endorsed by Markham's Trees for Tomorrow initiative, Markham residents pay only $100 for deciduous trees and $50 for evergreen trees, from a select list of eligible species. Limit of five trees per property per year (space permitting). First come, first served.

Newmarket residents receive an additional $100 rebate when planting a tree on their property. Business properties do not qualify. Limit of one rebate per property per year (space permitting). First come, first served.
