The Residential Re-Leaf program aims to expand St. John’s urban forest by encouraging property owners to plant trees on their property. This initiative continues to help the City of St. John’s achieve its goal of increasing the number and density of trees in the city.

Since 2019, the City has distributed over 700 vouchers to St. John’s residents resulting in hundreds of trees planted on homeowner properties. More details can be found on our Residential Re-Leaf webpage.
