The Raisin Region Conservation Authority and South Nation Conservation have joined with local municipalities to give away free tree seedlings to residents across the region, including Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. The program, announced on March 6, 2026, is designed to help homeowners improve their properties while supporting local air quality and reforestation efforts across Eastern Ontario.
This initiative marks the 27th annual tree giveaway for the Raisin Region Conservation Authority and the eighth for South Nation Conservation. The two organizations have now worked together for seven consecutive years to help increase the number of trees and shrubs growing in the community.
The project is supported by SDG Counties along with corporate sponsors Enbridge and Ontario Power Generation. Residents who want to get a bundle of seedlings must register online through the conservation authorities’ websites or social media pages while the supply lasts.
Those who successfully reserve their trees will receive an email with details on where and when to collect them. These pick-up dates are expected to take place in late April or May 2026 at various locations within the local municipalities.
