Plant your Place! – Vanier Community Association

Registration for the new Plant your Place! program is now open!

Trees do more than just look beautiful—they help absorb rainwater, clean our air, store carbon, provide shade, and help cool down built up areas! Did you know that 40% of Ottawa’s urban area is private property? That means we all have a role to play in growing our city’s tree canopy!

The City of Ottawa’s new Plant Your Place! program makes it easy for residents to plant trees on their own property, and registration is now open!

Residents can apply for a FREE tree through the City-Wide Tree Distribution stream:

There are 16 different species to choose from. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Approved participants will pick up their trees at the Spring Tree Distribution Event for their ward.
You’ll also get expert tips on how to plant and care for your new tree.

Plant Your Place! is delivered in partnership with EnviroCentre. To find out more and to apply,
please visit the EnviroCentre website.
