Celebrating Success: The Impact of Our Tree Program

A big thank you to all who participated in our Tree Program! Together, with the support of our

community and the generosity of Maples Leaves Forever, we've achieved remarkable results that will positively impact our environment for years to come. We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the volunteers and staff whose dedication and hard work were instrumental in making this program a success.


The numbers speak for themselves: over 4500 trees sold, with more than 700 of those being native maple trees.

We would like to thank Ken Jewett, a cherished member of our community and the driving force behind Maple Leaves Forever. Maple Leaves Forever, has generously subsidized $10 of every native maple tree and seedling bundle sold in our Tree Program. Ken's unwavering commitment to promoting the planting of native Canadian maple trees has been nothing short of inspirational.



Ken's dedication goes beyond mere financial support; it is a testament to his profound belief in the importance of preserving our natural landscapes and promoting environmental stewardship. His vision has not only enriched our Tree Program but has also ignited a greater sense of purpose and responsibility within our community.


Ken's generosity serves as a shining example of the difference that one individual can make in creating a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

May: The Month for Spring Clean-Up

May is not just a month for enjoying the beauty of spring; it's also the perfect opportunity to roll up our sleeves and embark on some much-needed spring cleaning.

We are asking residents to survey the ditches around their property and identify any areas in need of attention. Please dispose of any trash responsibly, recycling where possible and bagging up the rest for proper disposal.


By coming together as a community to tackle the challenge of spring clean-up, we not only beautify our surroundings but also foster a sense of unity and pride in our shared environment.


Contact us to arrange pick up of additional bags at info@mulmur.ca.

Responsible Dog Ownership in Mulmur

In the Township of Mulmur, responsible dog ownership is not just a suggestion, but a legal obligation outlined in By-law No. 53-19. Among the regulations, two key provisions focus on dogs running at large and the necessity of cleaning up after them.


Please ensure your pets do not excessively howl or bark or otherwise disturb the peace. This helps create a harmonious environment for both pet owners and their neighbors, promoting harmony within the community.


Every owner of a dog is required to immediately remove any feces left by the dog in designated areas. This includes highways, roadways, public parks, and any public or private property other than the dog owner's property or that of the person having care, custody, or control of the dog. This "stoop and scoop" policy not only maintains cleanliness in public spaces but also prevents the spread of disease and environmental contamination.



By adhering to these regulations, dog owners play a vital role in fostering a clean and healthy environment for everyone in the Township of Mulmur. Failure to comply with these provisions may result in penalties as stipulated by the by-law.
