The Town of Kirkland offers various tree planting programs at very little, or no cost! Plus, in many cases, the Town will come and plant it for you !
Simply choose the best program suited to your needs and submit your request to the Public Works Department, Urban Forestry Division.
Once again this year, the Town of Kirkland is pleased to announce its participation in A Tree for my Neighbourhood campaign providing Kirkland residents with an opportunity to purchase a tree delivered AND planted on their property, at a very low cost! Under the initiative of Regroupement des éco-quartiers and Soverdi, and in partnership with GRAME as well as with the support of the Town of Kirkland, this project is designed to promote biodiversity and to increase the urban tree canopy.
The spring sale will take place from April 27 to May 30, 2022 on a first-come first-served basis, until supplies last. Owners of a residential property in Kirkland may purchase one tree at a very competitive price. A great number of species are offered and each tree is 1.5 to 2 metres in height. Tree descriptions are provided online.
To purchase a tree:
All trees will be delivered AND planted in mid-June. It must be noted that your tree cannot be planted in the municipal right-of-way and is guaranteed for a period of one year from the day it is planted (this guarantee is managed by Regroupement des éco-quartiers).
By planting a tree, you can enjoy the many benefits that trees provide such as purifying the air, cooling the atmosphere, reducing noise pollution, embellishing a neighbourhood and increasing the value of a property.
Please note that this program cannot be used to replace felled trees as the trees provided by the program do not meet the minimum size requirement under Kirkland's Zoning By-Law Number 90-58.

The Town of Kirkland is proud to announce its participation in the Ensemble, on verdit residential greening campaign, an initiative of the GRAME. As part of this campaign, the Town of Kirkland subsidizes the purchase of one or more trees for its citizens to replace ash trees that had to be cut down on their property.
Citizens with this obligation are thus able to get a tree at a subsidized cost which includes the delivery of the tree, its planting and the addition of other inputs that will help improve its growth (watering basin using mulch around the trunk, Mycorrhizae).
The purchase period will start mid-May. More details to follow.
For more information about the trees offered, visit: ensembleonverdit.org
The trees offered in this program comply with the Town’s regulation that apply to felled ash trees*.
