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.

Know the Risk: Yellow, Orange & Red Weather Alerts

  • Yellow: Hazardous weather may cause damage, disruption or health impacts
  • Orange: Severe weather is likely to cause significant damage, disruption or health impacts
  • Red: Very dangerous and possibly life-threatening weather will cause extreme damage and disruption


For more information visit: Color-coded Weather Alerts

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.

Winter Solstice Yoga Workshop


Join Marley for a Winter Solstice 108 Sun Salutation moving meditation, a time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year ahead.


This practice is fully adaptable: move through all 108 salutations, modify as needed, or take breaks in Child’s Pose. The goal is to connect with your mind and body at your own pace.


The program will take place at the Township Office on Thursday, December 18th from 6:30–8:30 p.m. The cost is $30 + HST.


For questions or to register, please contact pragyablossomyoga@gmail.com.

8- Week Yoga Program


Join Marley for her 8-week chakra-based yoga program beginning January 13th. Classes will take place at the Township Office from 7PM - 8PM.


Not only will these classes focus on a specific chakra each week, but will also include building total body strength, mindfulness and guided meditation.


The program costs $113, or just $98.87 if you sign up with a friend or family member. It doesn’t matter if either of you has attended before, just make sure you list them as your referral when you register together.


For questions or to register, please contact pragyablossomyoga@gmail.com.
