Kamloops Tree Coupon program returns for another year

The City of Kamloops’ annual tree coupon program is back for another year, offering discounts to people looking to plant new trees on their property.

The program is meant to help increase the city’s tree canopy from 15% to 20%, which is an identified priority in the city’s Urban Forestry Management Strategy.

A total of 1,000 coupons will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to residents within Kamloops’ municipal boundaries, with a limit of one per household.

The coupons have a $20 or $50 value, depending on the price of the selected tree.

Coupons will only be available at these participating nurseries:

Agri Supply
Art Knapp Plantland
Canadian Tire - Aberdeen
Canadian Tire - North Shore
Lyons Garden and Landscape Centre
Purity Feed Co.

Anyone interested in the coupon program will need to show proof of address through a driver’s licence of a City of Kamloops utility bill or a property tax statement.

“Coupons will only be available at the time of purchase of an eligible tree and cannot be picked up at one store and used at another store, nor can coupons be picked up for use at a later date,” the city says in a release issued Tuesday morning.
