This project is now complete. With your help, we planted a total of 154 new trees in the Chandler Mowat neighbourhood. We will plant another 70 trees in the neighbourhood beginning in 2025. For more information on City of Kitchener tree maintenance and planting, visit kitchener.ca


Increasing the tree canopy in Chandler Mowat

In many areas of Kitchener, trees and the benefits they provide are inequitably distributed. That means that some neighbourhoods are missing out on some of the many benefits that trees can provide to help communities thrive. This includes:

  • shade in the summer
  • food security
  • climate change resilience
  • cleaner air and water
  • sense of wellbeing

Community Canopy is a partnership between Reep Green Solutions and the City of Kitchener that aims to increase tree canopy in those areas within the city.

We have highlighted the Chandler Mowat neighbourhood for our 2024 pilot project (map). This neighbourhood has low canopy coverage as compared to Kitchener’s average. Our aim is to increase the tree canopy through caring and planting trees where residents desire them most.

Get involved

To ensure that we are planting in places that the community wants and needs, we need your help! Help us design a community planting plan. You can also apply to have a free tree planted on your private property.

There will be many opportunities to take part in this project. To learn more, review the Newsfeed.
