Green Municipal Fund

Growing Canada’s Community Canopies initiative funds planting the right type of trees in the right places so that communities across Canada can grow, manage and protect their tree canopies.

When communities plant trees they benefit from shade and wind protection, enhanced biodiversity, climate resilience, better health and well-being. 

To qualify for tree planting funding projects must contribute to the planting of new trees with municipal government involvement and accountability.

As tree planting benefits communities in diverse ways, projects with planting that supports environmental, economic and social objectives will be more likely to receive funding.

The deadline to submit a full application for this funding is September 18, 2025 (aiming for the Spring 2026 planting season). Visit the Green Municipal Fund for more information.
