Tree planting has been a time honoured tradition on Prince Edward Island. People plant trees to beautify their homes, properties and communities; stabilize soils and create wind buffers; improve wildlife habitats; restore forest health; and grow valuable forest products.

The Forests, Fish and Wildlife Division produces a wide variety of natives tree and shrub species at the J. Frank Gaudet Tree Nursery for many uses.

Nursery staff also provide advice to landscapers, communities and the public on a wide range of insect, disease and landscaping issues. The nursery does not sell seedlings directly to the public, but trees and shrubs are available at participating private nurseries and garden centres across the Island.
