Through the Trees for Tomorrow program, the Manitoba government and its partners will plant over one million trees every year, over a five year period. This program is help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2012.

To deliver this program, the Province of Manitoba has partnered with the Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA) — a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to public education about trees and forests. The MFA will work with other organizations, partners and landowners to submit application forms, determine site eligibility, and coordinate tree planting.  As an educational organization the MFA will also be available to answer your tree planting and tree care questions.

What’s in it for you?

While the Trees for Tomorrow program is focused on planting trees to sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and reduce the effects of climate change, trees can create wildlife habitat, reduce soil erosion, enhance the beauty of property and even have health benefits for humans.

You provide the land. We’ll help with the rest.

If you’re a landowner who is interested in planting trees on your property, the Trees for Tomorrow program may be for you.

Depending on your parcel of land, and the plan we develop with you, Trees for Tomorrow may provide you with:

• site inspection
• the development of a site plan
• free seedlings
• site preparation
• overseeing the planting
• tending the young trees, and…
• follow-up survival assessments.
