Green Streets Program

In 2010, 20 Canadian communities were awarded grants of up to $15,000 to enhance the tree canopy of their towns and cities.  Over 110 submissions from communities across Canada were received by the TD Green Streets Program. The Blue Mountains is proud to be one of 20 successful applicants. For more information on the TD Green Streets Program, please click on the link on the right-hand side of the page.

As part of this program, The Blue Mountains has committed to planting  several trees in the municipality. The Blue Mountains also offered free trees to residents through a Tree Lottery, called the LOTTREE.

Plant a Tree- Win a Tree: The Blue Mountains 'LOTTREE' 

We would like to thank all residents who participated in The Blue Mountains Lottree Program. Over 200 people entered the draw and 100 residents have won a $50 gift certificate redeemable at the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA), to be used toward the purchase of a tree or seedling. 

What Does Planting a Tree Do For the Environment?

Since a tree is half carbon, trees represent one of the best ways to extract carbon (which enters the tree as CO2) from the air. To achieve long-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, a diverse mix of species and ages of trees must be in place in our community.  Let's do our part to reduce The Blue Mountains greenhouse gas emissions by planting trees!
