🌳 A Friendly Reminder About Bluewater's Tree Planting Program 🌳
As a reminder, requests for Bluewater's Tree Planting Program are being accepted until September 14, 2026!
Did you know that Bluewater plants a minimum of 150 trees each year as part of its commitment to protecting and enhancing our community's tree canopy? Trees provide shade, improve air quality, support wildlife habitat, help manage stormwater, and add beauty to our parks, neighbourhoods, and public spaces.
Residents can request a tree for planting on municipal property, including boulevards, road allowances, parks, trails, and other public lands where appropriate. The program applies throughout the Municipality of Bluewater.
To help ensure trees can thrive for generations to come, proposed planting locations are reviewed for factors such as available growing space, existing trees, utilities, drainage infrastructure, sidewalks, roads, streetlights, and traffic sightlines. These guidelines help protect both the long-term health of the tree and municipal infrastructure. Not every location will be suitable for planting, but every request is reviewed with the goal of supporting a healthy and diverse tree canopy across Bluewater.
🌱 Together, we're growing a greener Bluewater.
