Tree Coupon Program

The Tree Coupon program supports the City's goal of increasing our community's tree canopy to 20% from the current 15% as identified in its Urban Forestry Management Strategy. Urban trees provide many social, health, environmental and economic benefits, from removing atmospheric carbon dioxide and absorbing air pollutants, to reducing energy consumption and increasing property values.

This program is one effort to encourage residential homeowners to participate in the achievement of that goal. We need more trees throughout our community to benefit from all of the services that trees provide.

2025 Tree Coupon Program Available April 1-June 11, 2025

A total of 1,000 coupons are available in 2025. Coupons allow residents to receive either a $20 or $50 discount, depending on the price of the tree. See below for a list of participating retailers.

Coupons will not be available for pickup at City facilities. Coupons will be available at participating nurseries from April 1 to June 11, 2025, while quantities last. Coupons are only available at the time of purchase of an eligible tree and cannot be picked up at one store and used at another store. Coupons also cannot be picked up for use at a later date.
Residents will need to supply proof of address in the form of a driver’s licence, City of Kamloops utility statement, or property tax statement.
Coupons are available at the following participating locations, for use before June 11, 2025:
- Agri Supply
- Art Knapp Plantland
- Canadian Tire - Aberdeen
- Canadian Tire - North Shore
- Lyons Garden and Landscape Centre
- Purity Feed Co.
Special thanks to our participating nurseries and retailers who work hard to handle the flurry of coupons, guide customers in appropriate tree selection, and provide billing for reimbursement.
