Planting tree

In celebration of Earth Day, and in partnership with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) and Sassafras Farms, we will be giving away 300 trees to Port Colborne residents (limit of three per household) on Friday, April 22, 2022, from 7 to 11:30 a.m. at King George Park. City staff will be collecting addresses from residents taking trees as part of a project to test the survival rates of the trees planted and assist with choosing tree species for the city in the future. Staff from NPCA and Sassafras Farms will also be hand to provide product and information about pollinator beds. For more information about this event, pollinator corridors in our city, and our tree rebate program, visit our webpage www.portcolborne.ca/environment.
