Imagine a forest at your doorstep
October 22, 2024
For 20 years York Region, in partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), has been helping landowners with two or more acres in York Region transform their properties through our Grow Your Legacy large-scale tree-planting program. Since 2004, more than 763,000 trees have been planted across over 1,000 acres (the equivalent of 900 football fields). These trees help clean the air we breathe and protect our communities from floods.
Benefits:
- Create Your Own Forest: Establish or expand a forest on your property
- Environmental Impact: Help remove 77,000 tonnes of carbon annually, equivalent to taking 60,000 cars off the road
- Increase Property Value: Boost your property's value and privacy
- Reduce Energy Costs: Lower home energy expenses
Landowners can receive up to 90% funding for tree-planting projects, with expert support from planning to planting.
