snow on tree branches

Severn, Ontario: Township of Severn and the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) are working together to provide property owners with low priced, native tree and shrub seedlings for planting in spring 2024. The deadline for orders is Friday, January 12, 2024. Due to the popularity of the program many species sell out quickly. 

Trees provide many benefits and continue to do so year after year.

Benefits include:

  • absorbing carbon and air pollutants
  • buffering noise (traffic, construction, etc.)
  • capturing storm water and protecting the quality of our waterways
  • energy conservation by providing shade and acting as a windbreak
  • improved natural beauty
  • increased property value
  • mental health support and stress relief
  • potential wildlife habitat.
