Trees are more than just beautiful - they’re essential. They clean the air, cool our communities, support wildlife, and make our neighbourhoods healthier and more vibrant. The Community Forest Strategy will help the County of Brant plan for the future of our trees and green spaces in urban and rural areas.
What is a Community Forest?
Brant’s Community Forest includes all the trees and green spaces across the County - on both public and private land. That means not just forests and trails, but also trees in parks, along roads, in cemeteries, on farmland, and even in your own backyard.

What is a Community Forest?
Brant’s Community Forest includes all the trees and green spaces across the County - on both public and private land. That means not just forests and trails, but also trees in parks, along roads, in cemeteries, on farmland, and even in your own backyard.
Together, these trees make up a living system that supports the environment, our health, and the overall beauty and well-being of our communities.
Why are we creating a Community Forest Strategy?
As our County grows, we want to make sure we’re protecting and enhancing this important natural asset. The Community Forest Strategy will guide how we care for, grow, and protect our trees now and in the future.
Our vision is a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient forest system that supports the social, environmental, and economic health of the County of Brant.
The strategy will help us:
Plan for a growing and thriving Community Forest
Protect and preserve trees on both public and private lands
Keep our trees healthy, safe, and functional
Enhance our urban forests and green spaces
Build strong partnerships with community groups and Indigenous partners
Support recreational use and other green initiatives

Share Thank you for your interest in developing the forest and tree canopy in Brant. I filled in the survey but forgot to add a comment about Rest Acres Road coming from 403 into Paris. Some attempt has been made along the middle of the boulevard for tree planting. The sides of the road are dominated by hydro wires and newly constructed townhomes. Nature plantings along the sides of the boulevard would add a lot to beautifying the entrance into Paris. on FacebookShare Thank you for your interest in developing the forest and tree canopy in Brant.
