Home Owners Tree Planting Program (HOTP)

Various municipalities across Ontario, whether large or small, are increasingly concerned with their urban tree environment and many are considering offering to sell tree saplings, at a subsidized price, to resident property owners for planting on their property to improve the streetscape view and the general environment.  OPT will be working closely with the Town of Perth to see if a HOTP program can be implemented in our area. We will keep you informed with updates to this page but, in the meantime, please check the links below to find out how some of our neighbouring towns and cities are dealing with their own HOTP.

Supporting community planting for long-term benefits

Since 1992, Tree Canada has greened more than 730 municipalities, Indigenous communities and business improvement areas.

Greening Communities

Launched in 2023, Forests Ontario’s new Take Root program works with community organizations and municipal governments to provide residents with access to low-cost or no-cost trees to plant around their homes or in their neighbourhoods. Take Root makes planting a tree accessible for all.
