The Fantastic Trees Program offers Mississauga residents an engagement opportunity to recognize trees on City property and foster an appreciation of Mississauga’s Urban Forest. Individual trees or groups of trees, like streetscapes and groves, can be nominated based on the following criteria:

·        Species
·        Age
·        Size
·        Shape
·        Location
·        Wildlife value
·        Historical or cultural value

Once a nomination form is submitted with the location, photograph and description of the tree or group of trees, City staff will visit the tree to confirm its location.

The Fantastic Trees Program has three main goals:

To highlight components of Mississauga’s Urban Forest and foster appreciation of natural spaces and the importance of trees
To increase public engagement through tree nominations to recognize additional trees, groves, and/or streetscapes
To continue to promote and build on the previous Significant Trees Program as outlined in the Urban Forest Management Plan
