Help Shape Waterloo's 10,000 Tree Planting Project
Official title: 10,000 Trees in Waterloo
The City of Waterloo is planting 10,000 new trees in parks and public spaces between 2025 and 2026. They want to hear your ideas about where trees should go and how to grow the urban forest. One resident has already suggested requiring tree cover in parking lots.
Why This Matters
Live in Waterloo? These trees will be in your neighbourhood parks and public spaces. More trees mean cooler streets in summer, cleaner air, and nicer places to walk. Got a spot that desperately needs shade? Now's your chance to say so.
What Could Change
New trees will appear across Waterloo's parks and public spaces through 2026, with 2027 dedicated to maintenance. Your input could influence where they're planted. Some residents are pushing for bylaws requiring tree cover in parking lots.
Key Issues
- Where should the 10,000 new trees be planted?
- Should parking lots be required to have tree cover?
- How should Waterloo grow its urban forest?
