Help grow Caledon's tree canopy!

The Town of Caledon's Tree Seedling Program provides residents with the option to purchase potted trees, shrubs, and bundled seedlings.

Since this program began in 2002, more than 199,000 trees and shrubs have been distributed to landowners in Caledon!

How the Program Works

The Tree Seedling Program offers potted trees, potted shrubs, bundled seedlings and mulch mats to Caledon landowners, residents, businesses, and schools.

The Tree Seedling Program helps to reduce the local impacts of climate change, improves air quality, and contributes to expanding Caledon’s tree cover and broader provincial tree planting goals. You can participate in the Tree Seedling Program through these easy steps:

  2. Pick up your trees on Saturday May 25, 2024
