Trees

Trees are very important for the well-being of a community and our environment. They improve the quality of our neighbourhoods, air, trails, and other areas around the Township.

All of us are responsible for their care and ensuring they can thrive in our community. Residents can help take care of trees by:

Watering
Pruning
Removing dead branches and/or leaves
Monitoring their health and raising any critical concerns

Dead Tree Removal

Please use our online Dead Tree Removal Request Form to request dead tree removal.

Please note staff will only contact you if they require further information. Tree removals are conducted on a hazard priority basis.

Contact trees@wilmot.ca for more information.

Watering & Care

The Township does not have a dedicated forestry crew. Tree maintenance and care requests are managed by staff and are completed as time allows between scheduled projects and daily operations. Please email Public Works to request boulevard tree care.

Homeowners are encouraged to support the health of boulevard trees through regular watering, mulching, and minimal pruning. For any significant pruning or trimming needs please email Public Works. Requests will be reviewed by staff to determine appropriate action and next steps.

New Developments (Subdivisions)

If you live in a new development (subdivision), please check with your builder and/or developer before requesting a tree from the Township.

Tree Canopy Policy

The Township's Tree Canopy Policy Framework was endorsed by Council on December 11, 2023.
