Port Colborne council has approved an agreement with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) to support tree planting on private land through the Trees For All Initiative. The city will provide $55,000 from its 2025 tree planting operating budget for the program, with additional annual funding of up to $35,000 available until 2031, contingent on landowner participation.  The initiative was launched in 2023 in line with the federal government’s 2 Billion Trees Program, which aims to restore and expand Canada’s forests to improve air and water quality. The expansion plan is part of the NPCA’s key priorities in protecting and improving biodiversity in its watershed.
