Mulmur Hills Tree Program is Back: Celebrate Mulmur's 175th Anniversary and Plant a Tree
Mulmur’s beloved Annual Tree Sale is back - and this year, it's extra special.
As we prepare to celebrate Mulmur's 175th Anniversary, residents are invited to take part in a meaningful and lasting tribute to our community's rich history and natural beauty by planting a tree.
Whether you are a long-time resident or new to the area, planting a tree is a wonderful way to contribute to Mulmur's legacy and help preserve the stunning landscape of the Mulmur Hills for generations to come. Trees not only enhance our environment, but they also symbolize growth, resilience and community spirit.
Values that have defined Mulmur for 175 years.
The Mulmur Hills Tree Program offers a variety of native tree species at subsidized prices, proudly sponsored by Maple Leaves Forever.
Order your trees today: Mulmur Tree Program
Celebrate. Grow. Remember. Help make Mulmur greener as we honour 175 years of community and nature.
In Memory of Ken Jewett
September 23, 1930 – November 26, 2025
Mulmur would like to recognize the passing of Ken Jewett, founder of Maple Leaves Forever. His dedication to planting and preserving native Canadian maples has left a lasting legacy, and his impact will continue to grow through every tree planted in his honour.

December Green Tip: Turn Off Before You Take Off
As you head out for holiday gatherings or winter travel, take a moment to power down your home. Turn off lights, unplug small appliances, and switch off holiday décor before you leave. Not only does this reduce unnecessary energy use, it also lowers the risk of electrical issues while you’re away making your season both greener and safer.
