Does the MNR provide tree seedlings?
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) no longer provides tree seedlings for planting. However, there are private firms that provide seedlings for the purpose of reforestation, planting on private land, municipal and school projects and special occasions (weddings, trade shows, fund raisers etc.). The MNR supported the development of ontariowoodlot.com which is a web site that contains a forest services directory for landowners including information on locating tree nurseries and purchasing trees. The MNR is also a partner in the Trees Ontario Foundation. The Foundation supports local community based tree planting initiatives and is a good place to contact to see what tree planting options are available in different parts of Ontario.
