Norfolk County Tree Planting

Norfolk County Tree Planting Program offers free trees to homeowners in Norfolk County.

Trees are planted within your property’s County-owned road allowance. Norfolk County strives to maintain the treed character along its roadways and preserve and enhance tree canopy cover throughout the County.

About the program

• One (1) tree is permitted per residential lot on the road allowance
• Up to two (2) trees are permitted on a corner lot (one tree on each road frontage)
• Trees will not be planted in boulevards where the grass width is less than 1.5m

• Forestry Staff will conduct a site visit to determine the suitability of the planting site, utility restrictions, sight line clearance, drainage, and available species selections

• Tree planting will take place in the spring or fall, depending on tree availability
