* Neighbourhood Improvement Area Incentive:

Toronto property owners located in eligible NIAs will receive an additional incentive to plant for free on their property. This incentive aims to increase access to planting services in low-canopy NIAs to address inequities in canopy cover across the city. Limit of one free tree and up to three free shrubs per property per year (space permitting). First come, first served.

This pilot incentive runs from August 2023 to June 2024! Eligible NIAs include:

• Downsview
• Glenfield-Jane Heights
• Keelsedale-Eglinton West
• Oakdale-Beverley Heights
• Weston-Pelham Park

To determine if your address falls within an eligible NIA, use the City of Toronto’s “Find Your Neighbourhood” website here. Type your address into the address search bar to find out which neighbourhood you live in. If your address falls within one of the above NIAs, please mention it when you submit your application to one of our programs.

*Please note that the NIA incentive cannot be used to plant a tree to fulfil a City of Toronto permit replant.
