Free Trees to Plant from City of Toronto About the Program

Do you think the roadside is missing trees?
You can now contact the City of Toronto at 311 or online to request to have a tree planted in your desired location this spring or fall!

The City of Toronto owns a portion of land between roadways and private property, known as the public road allowance. A property owner can submit a tree planting request for the City-owned road allowance in front of their home or business.

The goal is to help increase Toronto’s tree canopy to 40 percent.
