We can take action to help our community become more resilient and better able to adapt to major events and climate change.
The City of Vernon is continuously working to promote a healthy, enjoyable and safe community by encouraging residents to plant trees. Trees can help offer energy cost savings by providing shade, reduce sound and dust pollution to your property, and reduce the impacts of stormwater on flood events - all while enhancing the value of your property.
As part of the Tree Program, receive a $25 voucher toward the purchase of a shade tree at Nicholas Alexander Home & Garden or Swan Lake Market & Garden to plant on your own property! Vouchers are limited to City of Vernon residents, and one per property.
