Are you a private landowner in the Thunder Bay Region interested in planting trees on your property? The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) is offering conifer tree seedling stock at a subsidized price in support of private land stewardship efforts.

Why Plant a Tree?

Planting trees not only improves the aesthetics of your property, it adds to your property's value. Trees provide shade and protect buildings, reduce your heating and cooling costs, reduce snow drifting and snow removal costs and provide recreational opportunities as well as a source of income through timber harvesting. Plus by planting trees you will have the good feelilng of knowing you have improved the environment. Reforestation helps to reduce erosion, flooding and contamination of local watercourses by stabilizing the soil, slowing down surface water runoff through infiltration and by filtering out contaminants. As well, reforestation improves air quality and provides beneficial wildlife habitat on your property.

Through the Private Landowners Tree Seedling Assistance Program, the LRCA will cost-share the price of the seedling with the landowner.
