The Woodcreek Community Association is working with the City of Calgary to improve our community by increasing the tree canopy. We will look at trees on medians and boulevards, the need for pruning newly planted trees, identify where trees are missing after having died, lost by accidents, broken by storms, or whatever other fate led to their demise. We are also looking at the planting of trees in our sports fields to provide shade and picnic areas. The Poplar trees along many of our streets provide the best forest canopy in our community and many are reaching their end of life, so we will need to carefully consider how we manage their replacement. There are other community beautification initiatives we can research to make Woodbine and Woodlands better.
The list is more than one person can manage. The City of Calgary has implemented a Tree Ambassador Program to help provide input for improving the urban forest canopy in our community. The Tree Ambassador acts as a liaison between our community and the City of Calgary.
We are looking for volunteers for our committee. If you are interested, contact David Varga at [email protected].
