Help us grow our green canopy by purchasing an Urban Re-Leaf tree

Stumped on what to do with your yard this year? Spruce it up by purchasing a tree through our Urban Re-Leaf Program.

Greater Westside residents can purchase trees online, at cost, for $70 plus taxes by visiting westkelownacity.ca/urbanreleaf.

When purchasing your tree online, search the word tree under the activities section in the online registration system.

Sales are open from Monday, March 6 through Wednesday, April 5.

Choose from four different tree species:

• Ivory silk Japanese lilac
• Maidenhair
• Sienna Glen^TM maple
• Tulip

As quantities of each species are limited, we are asking residents to please limit purchases to two trees per property.

Tree pick-up will take place Saturday, April 15 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Mount Boucherie Recreation Complex at 2760 Cameron Road.

The Urban Re-Leaf Program started in 2020 to help expand the community’s green canopy and take action on climate change.

In addition to working with residents on the Urban Re-Leaf program, the City also continues to plant new trees annually and care for thousands of existing trees in parks, boulevards and other public lands.

Learn more about the benefits of the Urban Re-Leaf program, find details on each tree species and get further instructions on the April 15 pick-up event at westkelownacity.ca/urbanreleaf.
