Plant trees and enhance wildlife habitat.
Native trees are a beautiful addition to any property. They provide shade, prevent erosion, help reduce flood risk and improve air and water quality. Trees also provide habitat and food for wildlife. Another way to provide habitat can be as simple as installing a habitat structure, like a bird or bat box. There’s an opportunity for every property!
Find inspiration for your sustainable landscape by exploring our store.
Homeowners in eligible neighbourhoods can purchase a habitat structure, receive a free tree and purchase additional trees that CVC’s home planting team will deliver and help plant. We can help you determine where and what to plant to best suit your property’s conditions, your vision and your budget.
