Tree Planting Resource Guide 

The Tree Planting Resource Guide provides information and resources to help with planning and preparing to plant trees in places where they will have the best chance at success, as well as offering guidance on good planting practices.  

The information provided aims to help you better understand your planting site so you can choose a native tree species that will thrive in the location. Two accompanying companion documents – a tree species list and native plants list – have also been created for reference as you plan tree-planting activities. 

This guide addresses the following topic areas: 

• Site Assessment 

• Preparing for Planting Success 

• Tree Installation 

• Post-Planting and Establishment 
  
  

Trees, shrubs and plant life enrich spaces in many ways. Planning for their long-term health in the project you are engaged in is key to making it a success.
