Tree Power returns to London and Stratford
Mark your calendars! The Tree Power program returns for London and Stratford residents with tree sales opening in March 2023. The goal of this program is to create a greener and more beautiful community by providing affordable native hardwood trees for residents.
London Tree Power
Tree Power started in London 11 years ago when the late Bill Kunz initiated a new tree planting program through his work with London Hydro. Bill brought his vision to the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) and the Tree Power program was born. Bill helped build the program with the slogan: “Harness the power of trees by planting a native hardwood tree in your yard.” The UTRCA is pleased to continue working with London Hydro to offer this program.

“Tree Power is a great way for residents of London and Stratford to plant native trees in their yard which will have multiple benefits from reduced cooling costs, clean air, water purification, and improved biodiversity,” says Robert Davies, Forestry and Restoration Supervisor.
