The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), in collaboration with local community groups, municipalities, environmental agencies, and government organizations, has established the Niagara Peninsula Tree Planting Partnership. Our collective mission is to contribute significantly to Canada's goal of planting 2 billion trees, enhancing the ecological health of the Niagara Peninsula watershed.

Program overview:

In early 2023, we launched the 'Trees For All' program, inviting private landowners in Niagara, Haldimand, and Hamilton to express interest in tree planting opportunities on their properties. The response was overwhelming, with over 800 landowners registering—thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment!

In late 2024, NPCA secured $2.3 million in funding from Natural Resources Canada’s 2 Billion Trees program, enabling a significant expansion of our tree-planting efforts. With ongoing support from all partners, we are well-positioned to make a lasting impact.

Current Status:

Since 2024, our team has been actively visiting prospective planting sites to assess suitability and finalize plans with landowners and municipal partners. We look forward to a 2nd planting season in 2025!

    Are you looking to plant this 2023 season?

    Tina asked almost 2 years ago

    Hi Tina,

    We are planting this season however through our Restoration Grant Program which had an open call for applications last fall of which tree planting was an eligible project type.

    Trees for All will be looking to begin planting in 2024 which would be year one of a high-volume multi-year tree planting program for the Niagara Watershed based on the envelope of interest expressed by registrants through this campaign, and the public lands drive with our municipal partners.

    Hope that clarifies!

    Sincerely,

    Trees for All Team

    what does ARN stand for on the property registration form? Thanks

    Laureen asked almost 2 years ago

    Hi Laureen, 

    ARN stands for 'Assessment Roll Number' which is the unique identifier for an 'assessment parcel' in the parcel fabric from the province we are using in the registration application.  Its how we are linking the contact and other information registrants offer in the registration form to our property mapping base and appreciate where interest has been expressed.

    Hope this clarifies!

    bdj asked almost 2 years ago

    Hello BDJ,

    We'll take care of planting services for the most part however, absolutely, yes!  Trees for All anticipates there will numerous community planting opportunities emerging from the inventory of panting sites we validate from both the private and public land (municipal properties our partners identify for planting) campaigns    You can register to be a volunteer here and be notified when these and other opportunities emerge through the NPCA .

    Leon Martin asked about 2 years ago

    Hi Leon,

    The trees that would be offered though this initiative would be native species appropriate for site conditions and would range from bareroot seedlings or whips to larger potter stock.

    Hi Maryann,

    In short, absolutely!  Great to hear of your past efforts and encourage you to register your interest.  We've been hearing a lot of the damage the emerald borer has done coming through the expressions of interest that has registered.  Your property sounds like a great planting opportunity!

    Sincerely,
