Program Overview

With the expansion of our district, the WIWD will be offering a NEW tree rebate program to all residents within district boundaries for spring 2026 plantings. This program will allow residents to purchase trees and shrubs from the supplier of their choice, with opportunity for mail order shipping, in an effort to provide fair program accessibility to everyone.

Program Details

This program covers the cost of trees and shrubs ONLY.
Residents within the WIWD boundaries are eligible to apply. Contact the WIWD to ensure you are within the boundaries.
Rebate forms will only be accepted with an accompanying copy of an ITEMIZED RECEIPT, PICTURES & PACKING SLIP (if shipped order).
All trees/shrubs must be planted within the WIWD boundaries to qualify for rebate.
Once all requirements are reached and application is submitted, the WIWD will issue a cheque (maximum $80.00) rebate to successful applicants.
One rebate per resident/household per year. Businesses are not eligible to apply.
Programming is based on a first-come, first-serve basis. Program is subject to available funds, and may be discontinued without notice.
