Tree Planting Program

The Municipality of Brockton believes trees are important and we strive to maintain a healthy tree population in Brockton's urban and rural areas. Trees provide natural benefits and improve the visual appearance of our parks, cemeteries, road sides and boulevards. To learn more, read the Municipal Tree Policy, and the Tree Canopy and Natural Vegetation Policy.

Tree Planting Program

Any Brockton resident who wishes to have a tree planted on municipal property (boulevards, road sides etc.) adjacent to their property may contact our office to have their name put on the list.

Please note: properties along County roads and streets or Highways are not eligible for this program as these boulevards and road sides are County and MTO property, not Municipal property.

Trees are usually planted every spring by our Community Services Department staff. Staff will purchase the trees and choose the size and species of the tree depending on availability. 

To request a tree, please fill out the Request a Tree Form.

A stake can be placed where you wish the tree to be planted and our staff will determine if it is a suitable place to plant the tree.
