Green Venture is working with Trees for Hamilton, CityHousing Hamilton, City of Hamilton Forestry Department and University of Toronto, Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design to compile a database of trees along with providing engagement and outreach to the community. The Hamilton Tree Equity Project aims to improve urban forest health and tree equitable distribution on CityHousing Hamilton properties.
Community members are encouraged to become tree stewards and help us increase urban canopy to foster a healthy and thriving urban forest for all residents. To keep up to date on this project or get involved, follow along on our social media accounts, sign up for the monthly newsletter or drop us a message at trees@greenventure.ca.
Summer 2021 tree inventory has wrapped up. Check out this Tree Inventory Map here to see some preliminary results. Read the blog to see what our volunteers got up to!
Tree Equity Survey for CityHousing Hamilton Tenants: We would like to hear your perceptions of trees and their benefits and challenges through our survey. With this survey, we are able to develop a report for CityHousing Hamilton and the City of Hamilton, Forestry Section, such as recommendations for tree care and potential tree planting at these sites and maximize the benefits of trees for all residents. Complete this survey by December 7, 2021, for a chance to be entered into a draw for a $25 gift card of your choice from giftcard.ca!
