NeighbourWoods
The NeighbourWoods Program is a residential planting initiative developed by the City of Kelowna's Park Services department to encourage citizens and communities to grow and preserve Kelowna’s urban forest.
Applications for the fall NeighbourWoods Program are now closed. Successful participants will be able to pick up their tree on Saturday, October 1 from the Mission Recreation Park Arboretum.
The fall Neighbourwoods rogram has been made possible by a $15,000 TD Green Streets grant.
Stop and enjoy the NeighbourWoods program taking place on site, featuring:
• Tree planting demonstrations every hour beginning at 11 a.m.
• Urban Forestry Strategy Display
• Community Wildfire Protection Plan
• Tree Health with Don Burnett
• Ceremonial tree planting with Mayor Shepherd and Vik Bains, TD Branch Manager, representative for TD Friends of the Environment Foundation at 12:30 p.m.
Plant a Legacy
In 2010, Kelowna residents bought 1,000 trees at a discount ($30/tree, including taxes) to plant on their properties.
By planting a legacy, participants help grow Kelowna's tree canopy, ensuring that current and future generations will enjoy the many benefits of trees.

Benefits of Trees
Trees improve air quality by removing atmospheric carbon dioxide, absorbing pollutants and producing oxygen. The average Canadian urban tree is estimated to remove approximately 200 kg of carbon over an 80 year lifespan.
