Tree Planting
Trees regulate temperature, absorb C02, beautify our parks, provide wildlife habitat, increase property values, contribute to walkable neighbourhoods, and clean our water. The County of Brant recognizes these benefits for our community and encourages tree planting.

Tree Planting Programs
Commemorative Tree Planting
Planting a tree in a public park is a beautiful way to remember a loved one or celebrate a life event. Commemorative trees can only be planted in parks and include the installation of a plaque. Applicants may request a specific park location for their commemorative tree to be reviewed and approved by the County of Brant Forestry Division. Please visit our Memorialization page for more information.
Infill Tree Planting
The County of Brant manages the planting of new trees on boulevards, in parks and cemeteries throughout the County. These trees are planted in areas that not managed by any adjacent landowners.
New Subdivision Tree Planting
In newly constructed subdivisions, the developer or the builder is responsible for street tree planting. Developers are required to submit a street tree planting plan to the County of Brant for approval. The selection and placement of the trees in a new subdivision is based on County of Brant specifications.
