🌳 2025 Tree for Free Event: Transform Long Branch with Native Roots! 🌿

Join the Long Branch Neighbourhood Association (LBNA) for the 2025 Tree for Free Event and claim one of 12 native trees or shrubs to revolutionize our community!

🌿 These local heroes soak up 22 kg of carbon dioxide yearly, cool streets by 5°C, and create havens for birds and bees, boosting biodiversity. Thriving in Toronto’s climate, they save water, skip chemicals, and demand little care. They lift property values, spark joy, and unite neighbors, while honoring Indigenous land stewardship, weaving us into our region’s vibrant history.

One tree or shrub can purify air, shield our shoreline, and inspire a greener tomorrow!

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, May 31, 2025
  • Time: 9:30 AM–11:45 AM (walk-ups at 11:45 AM, limited supply)
  • Location: Colonel Sam Smith Park
  • Registration: Order by May 15, 2025, at https://lbna.ca/tree2025/
  • Last year, hundreds of natives reshaped Long Branch—let’s make 2025 our greenest yet! Don’t miss this chance to plant a legacy and fuel our climate-resilient future.

Tree for Free is Back!

The LBNA’s Tree for Free event returns on Saturday, September 17th at Colonel Samuel Smith Park.

We’ll be distributing free trees to Toronto residents between 10 am and 12:30 pm.

Trees need to be ordered in advance, and you can do so up to Wednesday, September 14th.

To participate, click here to be taken to our shop page, where you can select the species you’d like. All are native trees, so are well suited to our growing conditions.

Quantities are limited, so don’t delay placing your order. Because the funding for this program comes from the City of Toronto, it is limited to residents of Toronto and all trees must be planted on private property within the City of Toronto.
