Tree planting in Westmount

Certain residences have been selected for facade tree planting as part of the City’s Parks and Green Spaces initiatives. In the spring, the Public Works Department distributed door hangers to these residences, allowing citizens to choose from a variety of trees. A total of 162 trees, representing 24 species, will be planted. Additionally, residents were informed about the upcoming tree planting in the municipal right-of-way adjacent to their homes.

These residences primarily lack trees on their facades.

The tree planting is scheduled to commence during the week of June 5. A City-appointed contractor will be responsible for planting the trees in the space between the curb and the private property line, which belongs to the City. The specific planting locations were identified by our urban forestry inspector using stakes.

The City will be responsible for these trees’ maintenance and regular watering. This initiative aims to enhance the urban canopy and contribute to the overall quality of Westmount’s environment.
