Trees For All
Welcome to the NPCA's Get Involved portal!
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has partnered with local community groups, environmental agencies, and government organizations that share a common interest in helping Canada reach its goal of planting 2 Billion Trees for a better tomorrow. Together we have formed the Niagara Peninsula Tree Planting Partnership, striving to bring as many trees to the Niagara Peninsula watershed as possible, and we need your help!
Our goal today is simple. We are seeking private landowner to express their interest in tree plantings opportunities on their property to include as part of a future planting grant application and to help shape the Trees For All program. If you have land in Niagara, Haldimand, or Hamilton, we're looking for you.
The trees we plant together will capture and store carbon from the atmosphere, improve air and water quality, help to restore natural habitats and biodiversity, cool our urban centres and create and support green jobs. The benefits span generations!

Community Tree Planting
Our Rotary Club of Dunnville is working on a tree planting program in Dunnville. We have funds available to purchase plants and matching grants available to help plant. We would approach the community/county/provincial parks/etc. to find land opportunities to plant native species. We had a lot oft tree damage in Dec. 2022 storm & would like to help where we can.

Haig Neighbourhood Tree Campaign
The Haig Neighbourhood is a century-old urban community in St. Catharines with a shrinking tree canopy. Many of our residential streets lack boulevards for City trees, and they are often bare with few or any front lawns hosting trees. Our neighbourhood association, Haig Neighbours, recently established a garden committee with canopy building as part of its focus. If the NPCA would be willing to provide trees, Haig Neighbours would canvass streets in need of canopy restoration to identify willing participants in the program.
