10,000 Trees in Waterloo

The City of Waterloo is planting 10,000 new trees across parks and public spaces. This project page will provide residents with information on where new trees will be planted and how the city is enhancing its urban forest.

The trees will be planted over between 2025 to 2026, with 2027 dedicated to maintaining the planted trees.
