The goal of the plan is to ensure a sustainable future for our urban forest and to create awareness about the many benefits we all gain from the trees in our neighbourhoods. This spring and summer, 1300 new street trees were planted with an additional 400 street trees scheduled to be planted this fall. Thirteen tree species were selected for spring and summer planting and seven tree species have been chosen for fall planting. In years to come these trees will beautify our neighbourhoods and grow to form a protective canopy cover. Since the UFMP was approved by Regional Council in 2012, more than 4,200 new street trees have been planted throughout our City.(44.6478°, -63.5714°)(56.130366°, -106.346771°)
