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!

    How can I register to have trees planted on our property as part of this program?

    JacquieV asked 27 days ago

    Trees for All has been focusing on the private landowner interests registered in the 2023 campaign.  At the moment it is not accepting expressions of interest for plantings on private properties however it does expect to conduct a call out later this year for landowners to express interest in opportunities for our 2026 planting season.  This future call out will include eligibility details as we work with subsidies that have minimum requirements and we will be attempting to maximize investments towards ecological co-benefits when reasonable.

    Thank you for your inquiry!

    Are you looking to plant this 2023 season?

    Tina asked about 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 about 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 about 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.
