Translation – Explanation and Caution

The electronic translation service on the City of Surrey’s web site is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation may vary in some of the languages offered by Google. The goal of the basic translation is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages. Unfortunately, not all the languages spoken in the City of Surrey are translated.

Releaf Tree Planting Program

The City of Surrey is committed to the enhancement and preservation of our urban forests. Since 1991, tens of thousands of trees have been planted throughout the City by thousands of volunteers - community groups, schools, local businesses and individuals who care about their environment. The Releaf program offers you an opportunity to enhance habitat and improve your City by planting shrubs and trees in parks and along boulevards.

Every tree planted makes a difference. Trees provide habitat for birds and other animals, improve our air quality, and make Surrey a better place to live for all of us.

Releaf Program Options:

Habitat Enhancement Planting

We're working hard to restore natural areas throughout Surrey! Native trees and shrubs are planted to provide valuable food and shelter for wildlife and to increase the diversity of life in park natural areas. Call us to find out what parks we're working on this year! 

Shade and Boulevard Tree Planting

Trees can enhance your neighbourhood or local park by providing shade, improved air quality and beauty. Give us a call to make a request for a park or boulevard near you!

Educational Releaf

Schools and other interested groups can enhance their Releaf tree planting event with educational activities. Your group will learn about the importance of conserving and restoring nature in our parks and have fun at the same time. We also have in-class programs for secondary school students, that teach them about the decision making process that arborists use to ensure that they are planting "the right tree in the right place".

This is a great opportunity for Guides and Scouts
