These community plantings empower neighbours to build community while establishing trees that shade playgrounds, seating and trails, supports pollinators like bees, butterflies and birds and expands our urban forest. Thanks to Lincoln Heights neighbourhood group, Beechwood West I Homes Association and Glasgow Heights II Homeowner's Association for hosting a community planting in Roselea Park, McCrae Park and Stonehaven Park.
