The City of Thorold provides an Urban Street Tree and Park Planting program where applicable. This program is designed to enhance our neighbourhoods and parks providing green space and shade, as well as, improving air quality for our community and visitors. Trees are planted in parks, on public boulevards, road allowances fronting residences and in circles where tree do not currently exist.
Tree planting is on a first-come first-serve basis. If you are in a brand-new neighbourhood, tree planting will begin once the subdivision is completed and assumed by the City of Thorold.
Please note: You are not guaranteed a tree if the location is not conducive for planting. For instance, there may be space constraints, underground services and/or overhead utility and electric lines that impede on the tree's growth. We will also try our best to provide a native species of tree depending on the conditions of the area.
Planting generally takes place during two seasons; Spring and Fall. The deadline for the Spring planting season is April 1 and the deadline for the Fall planting season is August 30. Depending on the demand, you may have to wait until the next planting season. Planting is also dependent upon weather conditions during these time frames. For instance, we avoid planting in extreme heat.
Please read in more detail about the varieties of trees that you have to choose from on our website. Please note: Small Decorative Trees are chosen by the City staff based on constraints within your residential area.
