The Town of Kirkland offers various tree planting programs at very little, or no cost! Plus, in many cases, the Town will come and plant it for you ! Simply choose the best program suited to your needs and submit your request to the Public Works Department, Urban Forestry Division.
The Town of Kirkland is pleased to participate in the A Tree for my Neighbourhood campaign providing Kirkland residents with an opportunity to purchase a tree delivered AND planted on their property, at a very low cost! Under the initiative of Regroupement des éco-quartiers and Soverdi, and in partnership with GRAME as well as with the support of the Town of Kirkland, this project is designed to promote biodiversity and to increase the urban tree canopy.
The fall sale will take place from August 21 to September 22, 2024 on a first-come first-served basis (while supplies last). To buy a tree, simply click the following link https://unarbrepourmonquartier.org/en/.
Planting a tree allows to enjoy the many benefits that trees provide such as purifying the air, cooling the atmosphere, reducing noise pollution, embellishing a neighbourhood and increasing the value of a property.
Please note that this program cannot be used to replace felled trees as the trees provided by the program do not meet the minimum size requirement under Kirkland’s Zoning By-Law Number 90-58.

An initiative of:
that every Kirkland household is entitled to its very own public tree (planted on private property in the town’s right-of-way) and even two in the case of a corner lot or property comprising two separate lots?
that you can make the request via the Town’s website using the Requests online system, or by calling 514 630-2727 during regular business hours?
that the Town supplies the tree and required manpower to plant it and subsequently, sees to its pruning when required?
that once the tree is planted, all that is required is for you to give it a bit of water and TLC, watch it grow and congratulate yourself for having contributed to achieve Kirkland’s collective goal which is to increase the Town’s *tree canopy?

The Town of Kirkland is proud to announce its participation in the Ensemble, on verdit residential greening campaign, an initiative of the GRAME. As part of this campaign, the Town of Kirkland subsidizes the purchase of one or more trees for its citizens to replace ash trees that had to be cut down on their property.
Citizens with this obligation are thus able to get a tree at a subsidized cost which includes the delivery of the tree, its planting and the addition of other inputs that will help improve its growth (watering basin using mulch around the trunk, Mycorrhizae).
The purchase period will start mid-May. More details to follow.
For more information about the trees offered, visit: ensembleonverdit.org
The trees offered in this program comply with the Town’s regulation that apply to felled ash trees*.
