🤔 FAQs 🤔
🌲How many trees are there?
This year we have 5000 trees. We’re accepting and processing one tree application per address.
🌲Can I pick the tree I want?
When you apply, you’ll be able to pick three species of tree, and if you get a tree, you’ll get one of your choices.
🌲I did the module and applied for a tree – am I guaranteed one?
Because of the popularity of this program, we can’t guarantee a tree.
🌲Do I have to do the eLearning “Right Tree, Right Location” module to get a tree?
You’ll need to do the module to get a tree. But you CAN complete the module BEFORE registration—so when we open for applications, you can immediately apply. (This is new this year!)
🌲When will I get my tree?
Further information on tree pick-up dates and locations will be emailed to successful applicants.
🌲How will our current drought in YYC impact trees and tree watering?
It’s still important to plant new trees and use efficient watering methods to help get them established.
The water usage for each tree is very low when considering the long-term climate-positive benefits provided by a healthy tree canopy.
