recognized the importance of ensuring the survival of trees in their urban

Streets program since its inception. The funds are used for projects that
develop tools and practices that sustain and promote the health of urban
forests, including state-of-the-art municipal planning guidelines, community
tree stewardship, outreach and awareness, planting and maintenance programs. </span></font></span><font

font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Le programme <em><i><font face=Verdana><span
style='font-family:Verdana'>Ma rue, mes arbres</span></font></i></em> permet
aux municipalités, grandes ou petites, de tirer parti des avantages que
procurent les arbres. Dès qu’un arbre est planté, il commence à absorber du
carbone et à produire de l’oxygène, ce qui purifie l’air. Les gagnants du
programme comprennent à quel point les arbres embellissent leur secteur, créent
des brise-vent et des écrans anti-bruit naturels, et réduisent le besoin de
chauffer et de rafraîchir les domiciles et les lieux de travail. De plus, ils
abritent les oiseaux et les petits animaux, réduisent l’écoulement de surface,
protégeant ainsi le sol de l’érosion, et fournissent des lieux de détente et de
plaisir accessibles à tous.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Arbres <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>
est un organisme de bienfaisance établi pour encourager les Canadiens à planter
et à prendre soin des arbres dans les milieux urbains et ruraux. Un
récipiendaire du Prix canadien de l’environnement (2007), Arbres <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region> demande aux entreprises, organismes
gouvernementaux et résidents du <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>
d’appuyer la plantation d’arbres, le verdissement des terrains d’école et
d’autres efforts visant à sensibiliser les Canadiens aux bienfaits fournis par
la plantation et l’entretien des arbres. Jusqu’à date, plus de 75 millions
d’arbres ont été plantés et plus de 450 terrains d’école ont été reverdis. <a
