Planting trees on your property or community garden is a great way to enhance our urban forest. Trees in urban spaces improve air quality, storm-water reduction, temperature management, and so much more. The municipality has planted over 3,000 trees this year in support of the Urban Forest Master Plan and HalifACT. Through municipal investment and participation in the development of our urban forest, we work together to help achieve the important climate goals outlined in Halifax’s climate action plan.
