NeighbourWoods
The NeighbourWoods Program is a residential planting initiative developed by Parks Services to encourage citizens and communities to grow and preserve Kelowna’s urban forest. As planting a shade tree helps reduce household energy consumption, FortisBC 
is partnering on this project.
Plant a Legacy
On Saturday, April 24, 2010, Kelowna residents bought 450 trees at a discount ($30 per tree) to celebrate Earth Day.
By planting a legacy, participants will ensure that Kelowna's tree canopy will grow, ensuring that current and future generations will enjoy the many benefits of trees.

The average Canadian urban tree is estimated to remove approximately 200 kg of carbon over an 80 year lifespan.
