Get a tree for your yard for $10

Have you heard of TreeKeepers? TreeKeepers is a partnership managed by Tree City and the Environmental Youth Alliance working with the City of Vancouver and the Greenest City 2020 Action Plan.

This plan calls for the planting of 150,000 new trees in Vancouver. The City estimates at least one-third of these new trees will need to be planted on private property by residents and commercial property owners.

To achieve this, TreeKeepers is making fruit and other ornamental trees available to Vancouver residents for only $10 each, maximum 4 trees per household. In addition to this, the Vancouver school whose students buy the most trees will win $500 towards an Earth-friendly project.
