Growing Canada's Community Canopies — Tree Planting
Federation of Canadian Municipalities · Federal
In plain language
$291M federal program (to 2031) delivering through FCM's Green Municipal Fund. Full application deadline June 16, 2026 for the Spring 2027 planting season. Scales from small community plantings (~$50K) to large municipal canopy projects ($1M+). NL towns and conservation nonprofits can realistically tap this — straightforward reporting, genuinely non-dilutive. Urban Forestry Plans stream closes earlier (April 15, 2026). Note: the separate federal 2 Billion Trees program is being wound down — GCCC is the live vehicle.
