~ As the summer heat continues to rise, it's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago, people were enjoying the cool and wet spring weather. During this time, the Urban Forestry Division saw a surge in activity as many took advantage of the ideal conditions for planting new trees. With generally cooler temperatures and ample rain, spring is the perfect season for young trees to establish themselves in their new environment.
This year, the Division planted 1,200 new street trees across the City. These trees were strategically placed in priority zones identified in the Urban Forest Plan to combat the urban heat island effect. To see all of the locations where these trees were planted, residents can use the "Trees Planted Spring 2024" filter on the street tree inventory.
The Division is proud of their accomplishments this spring and remains committed to not only planting new trees but also maintaining and preserving existing ones. In addition to street trees, they also added new trees to two City cemeteries and worked with various community groups to complete small-scale plantings in local parks such as Copp's Hill Terrace, Noyes Park, and Harambee Park.

Looking ahead to fall, the crew is already scouting out locations for more tree plantings. Residents interested in getting a new street tree planted in front of their home can find more information here.
As we bid farewell to spring and welcome summer's warmer temperatures, it becomes crucial to ensure that these newly planted trees thrive throughout the hot months. While the City's contractor provides some water for these trees, adjacent residents are encouraged to pitch in and help steward our urban forest. The Division has prepared guidelines for caring for newly planted trees which can be found on their website.
In these scorching days of summer, it's important to remember that our city's trees appreciate water just as much as we do. By giving nearby trees a generous drink of water, residents will be rewarded with shade and beauty for years to come. Let's all do our part in keeping our urban forest healthy and vibrant.
