[Canada-wide] Treemendous Communities (deadline: Dec. 1, 2025)

Supporting community planting for long-term benefits

Since 1992, Tree Canada has greened more than 730 municipalities, Indigenous communities and business improvement areas.

Eligible projects receive funding up to $10,000 to cover the cost of purchasing and planting trees and shrubs, site preparation, tree maintenance, planting materials and developing education materials.

We accept a wide range of project proposals such as heat island mitigation projects, biodiversity corridors, stormwater retention, invasive species control, riparian planting, park and street tree plantings, and more.

How It Works 

After a project is selected to receive funding, Tree Canada is in touch to confirm details and pair you with a technical expert located nearby. This Forestry Specialists provide guidance, support and recommendations to help ensure the success of our projects.

All grant applicants are also invited to participate in a series of free webinars in April to guide them in selecting and preparing their planting site, choosing the appropriate species, and how to think about long-term care and maintenance.

Application Period

Grant applications are accepted from October to early December the year before project implementation. We inform applicants by the following March if their project has received a grant or not, and most projects are expected to be completed that same year.

Eligibility

Tree Canada supports greening projects wherever people live, work or play. Treemendous Communities funding is available to Canadian municipalities, Indigenous communities, business improvement associations, non-profit organisations and community groups.

Amount

Up to $10,000 per project
