UTRCA Tree Planting on Private Lands Program 

Visit the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) website to order your large stock trees and seedlings to plant next spring. We have a wide variety of coniferous and deciduous trees and wildlife shrubs available. 

Trees ordered through this program can be planted by the landowner or through our full planting service (if minimum order requirements are met). Planting projects include: windbreaks, retiring highly erodible land, treed buffer strips along watercourses, creating wildlife habitat, and more. The deadline to order is February 27, 2026. 

Please note that this program is open to landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres within the Upper Thames River watershed. 

Find our large stock trees and seedlings brochures on our website for further details.
