Spruce up your property with the Neighbourhood Tree Planting Program

Are you looking to tree-t your property this spring? Branch out now with the City’s Neighbourhood Tree Planting Program (NTPP). 

The NTPP is an annual program that makes discounted trees available for residents to enhance their property and help grow Kingston’s tree canopy, which is the layer of leaves, branches and stems that covers the earth below. It is a critical part of our ecosystem that provides shade, filters air, reduces heat and offers habitats for species. 

“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 store greenhouse gases, give off oxygen, help remove pollutants from groundwater and help prevent soil erosion. They do many important jobs for us, and all while beautifying our community and promoting wellbeing for all.” 

Eleven different species of trees are available for purchase during the month of March. Trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Property owners within the City can purchase up to three trees per property at a cost of $20 (HST included).  

Trees purchased through the program must be planted within the City of Kingston.  

Orders can be placed online, by phone or in-person at select City locations. Visit CityofKingston.ca/NeighbourhoodTrees for complete details.
