Process
  • An individual person, wishing to donate a tree or a group of trees must complete the Commemorative Tree Donation agreement available on the City of Winnipeg website and submit the completed form to the Urban Forestry Branch.
  • The program coordinator will contact the donor to confirm tree species selection, planting location and planting date. Final approval of the species and location is at the discretion of the Public Works Department.
  • As the application is approved the donation will be input into the system and the donation cheque will be processed.
  • Once payment has been received, the installation of the tree will be scheduled. Planting dates are variable due to weather, inventory, construction and special events.
