1/3 We love planting trees at schools!

In 2025, we planted at: Ecole Provencher (3 trees), Robertson School (3 trees), General Wolfe (8 trees), King Edward (5 trees) & Sisler High School (19 trees funded by MB Hydro Forest Enhancement Program)....

The last of our school tree signs are going up this week! We put one on each school tree we plant to let teachers and students know its name and how high it could grow. We also leave each school with a selection of tree-related books for their library.

We took an arborist to visit ten of our school sites. Many of the trees that were struggling earlier this summer are much better thanks to doubling up our waterings and a week of cooler temps with a bit of rain. We removed two damaged by vandalism but none due to the drought!

CBC Manitoba released this story yesterday about the city's attempts to not only maintain the city's tree canopy, but to grow it:
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The city is not going to tree plant us out of this huge deficit in our canopy. We all have a role to play!
