Trees, seedlings available from TownThe Town wants to grow Caledon's tree canopy. To that end, the The Town's 2018 Tree Seedling Program provides residents with the option to purchase potted trees and seedlings. Since the program's 2002 inception, an estimated 165,842 trees have been distributed to Caledon residents. “We are excited to continually offer this program to Caledon residents,” Mayor Allan Thompson remarked. “By making native tree stock and seedling options accessible to local residents, we are encouraging private reforestation and restoration efforts. This is one of the ways we are tackling climate change and being an environmentally responsible community.” The following potted trees and tree seedlings are available through the 2018 program: • Three types of coniferous (softwood) seedling species, including white cedar, white pine and white spruce. The minimum order is one bundle that contains 10 seedlings. • Nine types of potted deciduous (hardwood) species, including red oak, silver maple, sugar maple, red maple, white birch, black cherry, red/silver cross maple, white oak and black walnut. Visit the online store at caledon.ca/seedlings Orders are due by March 2. The pick-up date for orders will be May 5, from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Town of Caledon Public Works Yard 3, at 14220 Highway 50 (at the intersection of Highway 50 and Columbia Way). Customers are reminded to bring a piece of photo ID with their Caledon address on it. As well, the Town has partnered with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) to offer extended programs and planting services for residents with larger properties. Visit the TRCA and CVC websites for more information and program eligibility. |
