Bridgwater Centre Tree Planting

Each ward receives a % of funding from land sales to put toward parks & recreation. Many new recreation facilities are being installed in the ward, & now this tree planting initiative is underway.

I’ve received many requests from residents to plant trees & install benches along the pathways on Kenaston. So, we are initially focusing the plantings on either side of Bridgwater Centre – the addition of trees & benches will provide much needed shade & rest areas & will also help to soften the ‘corridor feel’ of Kenaston. (Ok. We will need a lot of trees-but it can be done!)

Over the next two years (in spring & fall) a total of ~ 158 larger trees will be planted & cared for by the city’s forestry department.

Phase 1: 23 trees were planted along southbound Kenaston pathway-just before Northtown Rd.

Thanks to all the tree hugging residents who send in feedback ~ and to the Forestry Department who put the tree planting plan together & maintain!
