Urban Forestry · Canada
City tree-planting programs, species selection for urban settings, canopy coverage and volunteer opportunities across Canada.
Topics
Species Selection
Species selection for urban planting involves more than aesthetics. Soil depth, road salt tolerance, overhead utilities and climate zone all determine which trees survive long-term.
Canopy Benefits
Canopy cover figures vary widely across Canadian cities. Research from Natural Resources Canada and municipal studies document how tree cover affects local temperature and stormwater runoff.
