Neighbourhood ReLeaf is aimed at increasing the number of trees in communities. The program encourages community members to get involved in planting trees and caring for them, thereby contributing to improving air quality, reducing urban heat, and enhancing biodiversity.
The Neighbourhood ReLeaf portfolio promotes a sense of community and stewardship of the environment through the programs listed below.
Neighbourhood Tree Giveaways
Neighbourhood Tree Giveaways operate through pop-up stations each spring and fall at locations throughout the city of London with the aim of increasing London’s tree canopy and promoting a healthier environment. Each event sees an average of 200 trees given away.
At each event, staff and volunteers assist residents with selecting from a variety of native tree species, which often include maple, oak, tulip tree, hackberry, and fruit trees. The trees are between 3-7 feet tall and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The availability of trees may differ at each giveaway, but we always ensure there is something for every type of yard.
If you’re unsure about which tree to plant in your yard, we invite you to explore our resource page. We can help you gain a better understanding of the conditions in your yard and which tree species are best suited for those conditions.
