Saanich Boulevard Tree Planting Partnership

Ask Saanich to buy and plant a new tree on the boulevard in front of your home, then water it each summer and keep its mulch ring weeded.

• Agree to water the tree from May to October for at least five years
• Keep the mulch ring clear of weeds
• Choose three species from the Saanich Preferred Boulevard Tree List
• Parks makes the final decision on species and location (setbacks: 1.5 m from underground utilities, 2 m from driveways and walkways, 5 m from utility and street light poles)
• Deer fencing is not provided

The application asks for a small hand-drawn diagram of where you would like the boulevard tree planted.

1. 1Complete the partnership tree application form with three species choices and a location sketch
2. 2Send it to Saanich Parks ([email protected], fax 250-475-5525, or 1040 McKenzie Ave)
3. 3Staff confirm species, check utilities and mark the site
4. 4The tree is planted between October and March

Trees are ordered late summer or early fall and planted in late fall and early winter.
