Every spring the Green Legacy Program distributes trees at no charge to the seven local municipalities.
Each municipality receives 5,000 seedlings that are handed out to residents on a first come, first served basis. A variety of hardwood and coniferous species are available.
Confirmation of the tree requests will be emailed or mailed in early April.
Trees will also be available at the Bradford Whitcombe Green Legacy Nursery (southern location – 6714 Wellington Road 34 in Puslinch) if you are requesting more than 500 trees. If you requested less than 500, your trees will be available at you local municipality.
