Tree Planting

The City of Winnipeg, Urban Forestry Branch tree planting program objectives;

• To replace losses, or anticipated losses, of elms to Dutch Elm Disease (D.E.D.), or other tree species for other reasons
• To provide/maintain an overall diverse tree canopy by planting trees where there are gaps in the existing urban forest.

Tree planting location priorities: All tree planting requests submitted to the Urban Forestry Branch are inspected to ensure that a tree is warranted at that location. Considerations are:

• Residential streets
• Regional boulevards
• Parks
• Existing trees in the suggested location
• Proximity to above ground structures
• Development agreement status
• Underground structures (clearances)

Urban Forestry Branch is not responsible for the following tree planting:

• Private property
• New development where tree was planted within the last two years
• Dutch Elm Disease removal on private property

Tree Planting Timelines:

• One (1) or two (2) years relative to the date the tree request was accepted and the tree installation date.
• Time delay is due to the large volume of trees required and the operational limitations of the Urban Forestry Branch.

Tree Planting Options (hiring a private contractor):

• Citizens have the option of personally hiring a private contractor at their own expense please see Guidelines for Maintaining City Owned Trees Using a Qualified Contractor

If a tree was planted on your boulevard you will receive a Planting Notice
