Decision trees for tree planting

By Della Wilkinson

We are hearing more and more about the benefits of trees for human health, both physical and mental, for the health of the planet and for the sheer joy of living green. The Tree Team of the Glebe Community Association’s Environment Committee is actively promoting the planting of trees in the Glebe through its Glebe Neighbourhood Canopy Regeneration project, which aims to renew the leafy green tree canopy of the neighbourhood. The Tree Team can be contacted at environment@glebeca.ca.

The team aims to help Glebe residents identify great spots where a tree may be planted, either on their property or in the community, and the kind of tree that will do well, based on space available, soil conditions and moisture content. The choices include both deciduous and conifer trees.
