Backyard Tree Planting Program
Beautify your property and help grow our urban forest! The City has partnered with LEAF to bring our residents a subsidized Backyard Tree Planting Program.
Help shape Pickering's Tree Protection By-law
The City's existing Tree Protection By-law covers trees within environmentally sensitive areas. The focus of the new Tree Protection By-law will be to protect the tree canopy, including trees on private properties, by expanding the scope of the tree protection areas under the new by-law.
Integrated Sustainable Design Standards
The City of Pickering developed new Integrated Sustainable Design Standards (ISDS) for all new development in the city to replace the 2007 Sustainable Development Guidelines. The ISDS will assist the City to review development through a lens that includes modern green best practices and technology.
