CUFC9 “<i>Water, Trees and Communities”</i> – register today!<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
(<i>February 5, 2010, Truro, N.S.</i>) Registrations are now possible for the 9<sup>th</sup>
Canadian Urban Forest Conference (CUFC9) in Truro, Nova Scotia at <a
href="http://www.cufc9.ca">www.cufc9.ca</a>. The conference, organized by the
Town of Truro and Tree Canada, takes place October 5-8, 2010. It will bring
hundreds of arborists, foresters, city planners, environmentalists and
engineers together to discuss and share knowledge under the theme of
“Water, Trees and Communities.” Trees are being increasingly
recognized as playing an important role in “green infrastructure”
by regulating the hydrologic cycle and protecting municipal drinking water
supplies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Since 1993, the CUFC has been hosted by Tree Canada and a
joint municipality including Winnipeg, Halifax, Windsor, Calgary, York Region,
Kelowna, Quebec City and Strathcona County. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Register today at <a href="http://www.cufc9.ca">www.cufc9.ca</a>
to learn about the conference, event speakers and field trips, as well as
discover facts about the Truro area and its urban forest. The Town of Truro and
Tree Canada look forward to seeing you in October!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><u>About Truro<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:normal'>Located 45 minutes north of Halifax’s
international airport, Truro fits the description of a true “tree”
town – it is one of the few Atlantic communities to employ full time
staff dedicated to its urban forest; the 400 hectare Victoria Park is managed
to protect Truro’s water supply; an extensive hemlock and red spruce
forest is found downtown; and homeowners receive cash rebates for planting
trees on their property. <o:p></o:p></p>
