Tree Planting Strategy

Welcome! We Want to Hear From You

The Town of Penetanguishene is working on a new Tree Planting Strategy with the help of SLR Consulting Ltd., and we’d love your input! Trees help keep our community cool, clean, and beautiful, and this strategy will guide where new trees should go, what types we should plant, and how we can keep our town green for years to come.

This quick survey will help us understand what you think is most important and it only takes about 5 minutes. Your feedback will make a real difference.
