Planting trees is one of the best ways to combat climate change. Did you know that for a tree to be carbon neutral, it needs to survive for five years after transplanting? Growing trees in the urban environment is tough. Urban Foresters try to minimize the challenges by planting with the hope they will live for 40 years or more and bring hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of green infrastructure benefits to the people of Burlington.
Learn about the interesting trees the City of Burlington is planting, the best size of tree to plant, where we plant, and how the City is trying to grow our canopy on both public and private land to reach our 35% canopy cover goal.
City of Burlington staff will lead a leisurely community-guided walk as residents explore the various environmental aspects within Roseland Park. This walk is led by City staff - an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, that will last approximately 45 minutes and will conclude with a questions and answers session. Maximum 35 participants.
