Tree Planting Programs

Putting Down Roots!

Trees Planted since 1951

Maitland Conservation has a long history of planting trees to restore floodplain and river valley areas and naturalize marginal lands. Since 1951 we’ve planted over 1.4 million trees throughout the watershed. Forestry staff are available to assist you with choosing the right trees for the right location, and identifying possible grant opportunities for your planting project.

Stream Buffer Plantings – up to 100% funding available

Streamside planting projects in our watershed are currently eligible for up to 100% funding. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the perks of stream buffers, with minimal planting cost. Check out our Water Quality Programs page for information.

Spring 2022 Orders

If you have ordered trees for this spring, staff will be in touch with information about picking up your stock when it arrives.

Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate any additional trees orders for this spring but staff will be pleased to help you plan your 2023 project. Below is information on how to order for next season.

Do-It-Yourself Tree and Shrub Orders

If you want to plan your own project, this option is for you.

  • To get started, decide on the type of project you want to do. Not sure? Contact our forestry staff to discuss options for your site.
  • Fill out the tree and shrub order form. This form will be posted in the fall of 2022 for 2023 spring planting.
  • Order forms may be submitted by:
    • email: trees@mvca.on.ca
    • fax: 519-335-3516
    • mail: Maitland Conservation, Box 127, Wroxeter ON N0G 2X0
  • Check in with forestry staff to see if your project is eligible for funding.
  • Pick up your trees when your order arrives in April and start planting.
  • Don’t forget to maintain your trees – check out the posted factsheets for information.


Planting Coordination Services

Maitland Conservation staff are here to help you with your next planting project. We will work with you to create a plan for your property and coordinate having a contractor come out to complete the planting.

To get started:

  • Decide on the type of planting project you want to complete.
  • Contact Maitland Conservation’s Forestry staff to discuss the project you’re are looking to do.
  • Staff will come out on site to walk the property with you, providing advice for the project.
  • Staff will then create a tree and shrub planting plan.
  • Once approved, Maitland Conservation will coordinate with the contractor to provide quotes, site visits and timing of the planting. Staff will also research other funding opportunities that will help offset the costs of the project.

For more information, please contact Greg Urquhart at 519-335-3557 ext. 235 or by email at trees@mvca.on.ca.


Available Stock

A variety of large stock and seedling trees, plus potted shrub species are available to order.  To make transporting and planting easier for landowners, all large stock trees and shrubs will be either ball and burlap or potted. With this change, the deciduous trees will be a smaller stock size than in previous years.

Funding

Your planting project may be eligible for cost-share funding. Maitland Conservation staff will help you assess if your project is eligible for a grant. Limited funding is currently available through:

  • Huron Clean Water Project
  • Wellington Rural Water Quality Program
  • 50 Million Tree Program
  • OSCIA programs
