Apr 22, 2025 | 3:28 PM

The City of Vernon is celebrating Earth Day by helping residents plant more trees.

The city launched its Trees for Tomorrow program Tuesday, April 22.

This initiative provides Vernon residents with the opportunity to pick up a $75 voucher to use toward the purchase of a tree or multiple trees from one of three local garden centres: Nicholas Alexander Home and Garden; Swan Lake Market and Garden; the Flower Spot.

“This program is a simple but impactful way for our community to take part in local climate action and enhance our urban tree canopy,” Kevin McCarty, Vernon’s climate action specialist, said.

“We’re excited to launch it on Earth Day and encourage residents to help plant a more vibrant future for our community.”
