Tree Give Away

Helping Fish and Wildlife in our Community

Tree species are: Red Cedar, Tamarack, White Pine, Red Oak, Green Ash, Butternut, Silver Maple,

Hackberry, Sycamore, Hop, Tulip, Shagbark Hickory, and Kentucky Coffee.

Shrub species are: Redbud, Nannyberry, Red Osier Dogwood, Ninebark, Arrowwood,

and Staghorn Sumac.

In order to give more Haldimand residents trees, we have restricted the number of seedlings for each applicant to a maximum of 150 trees and a minimum order of 50. All orders will be mixed species with a 5/1 tree/shrub ratio. While we will endeavour to provide as wide a variety of tree and shrub species as possible, we cannot guarantee that you will receive all species. Tree seedlings are 8" to 30" tall and are bare root stock. You will be required to pick up your trees at a local point in Haldimand during one specific week. Planting instructions will be provided.

There is no charge for the trees but we do have a non-refundable handling charge of $25.00 for all orders. You are welcome to share your order and the handling fee with neighbours and friends but by participating in this program you are agreeing to ensure the trees/shrubs are planted within a few days of pickup as part of the stewardship initiative to increase forest cover in Haldimand. You also agree not to resell the trees or shrubs.

This year part of our funding is from the Haldimand Stewardship Council through the Canada-Ontario Agreement for tree plantings along lands immediately adjacent to waterways that eventually flow into Lake Erie (i.e. a stream flowing into the Grand River which flows into Lake Erie). Otherwise trees will be distributed on a first come/first served basis to Haldimand residents owning 2 acres or more of land for stream bank plantings or wildlife corridor/enhancements.

Tree protectors and tree mats will be available for purchase at time of pickup. Order forms can be picked up at your local library or
