Plant a Native Tree in your Yard
Brighten your community and your yard. Homeowners in eligible neighbourhoods can request a free tree that CVC’s home planting team will deliver and help plant.
Planting trees on your property provides shade and privacy, adds beauty and colour, creates habitat for pollinators and birds and helps reduce the impacts of climate change. Plant more than one to add layers or create a grouping. Additional trees are available for purchase at time of order.
