North Bay homeowners can help grow the City’s tree canopy this spring through a new program called Grow Our Canopy, aimed at helping residents purchase trees for their yards.
Trees for Nipissing has teamed up with the City to make 100 trees available at a low cost of $15 each to qualified residential property owners who successfully complete an online application form.
“Trees for Nipissing is so excited to be providing this program for North Bay homeowners,".said Chair Peggy Walsh Craig. "It is a good start to increasing the tree canopy for future generations this year and many more to come!”
A variety of trees will be available, including taller species such as oak and linden and smaller tress such as ironwood and serviceberry.
Trees will range from three to five feet tall and will be less developed than those typically seen in garden centres.
Property owners can apply starting today by completing this online form. One tree is available per property.
Pick up will be at Steve Omischl Sports Complex at 1105 Lakeshore Drive in early May.
