Trees for Nipissing Program

Canopy Program Offers Trees to North Bay Homeowners

Residential property owners can help grow the City’s tree canopy this spring through a program called Grow Our Canopy, aimed at helping residents purchase trees for their yards. 

For the fourth consecutive year, Trees for Nipissing has teamed up with the City of North Bay to make 100 trees available at the low cost of $20 each to qualified residential property owners who successfully complete an online application form and prepay to reserve a tree.  

“Trees for Nipissing is excited to be partnering with the City of North Bay to deliver this program again this year,” said Trees for Nipissing Chair Peggy Walsh Craig. “It helps to increase our tree canopy and make the city greener for future generations.”

A variety of trees will be available, including taller species such as red oak, paper birch and red maple. Smaller trees include winterberry and dotted hawthorn. Trees will be in pots and range from two to five feet (60-150cm) tall. The trees are small enough to fit in most mid-size cars. The trees will be less developed than those typically seen in garden centres. Property owners can apply starting April 7 by completing this online form and completing payment by e-transfer to info@trees4nipissing.org or at our online store. The online form must be completed to reserve a tree. One tree is available per property. Pick up will be at Lee Park, 800 Memorial Drive, under the Gateway to the North arch in early May. Successful applicants will receive a delivery date confirmation prior to May 7.
