<p class=MsoNormal><b><u>About Truro<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:normal'>Located 45 minutes northeast of
Halifax’s international airport, Truro fits the description of a true “tree”
town - it is home to Victoria Park, a 400 hectare forest in the heart of
downtown; and to Lepper Brook, a 1,900 hectare watershed property which
supplies the town and surrounding area its drinking water. Truro is one
of the few Atlantic communities to employ full-time staff dedicated to its
urban forest, and was designated a “Green Streets Canada Community” in 1997 by
Tree Canada. Since that time Truro has participated as a host community
in four other Tree Canada-led commemorative tree planting projects including:
International Year of Older Persons (1999); 75th Anniversary of Canada Old Age
Pension (2002); and Tree Canada - Home Hardware 40<sup>th</sup> Anniversary
(2004).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR-CA>La conférence de trois jours commence le 5
octobre 2010 à Truro (N.-É.) et accueillera des centaines de forestiers,
d’arboristes, de planificateurs urbains et d’environnementalistes qui viendront
discuter de l’impact des forêts urbaines. Le thème de cette année est « L’eau,
les arbres et les collectivités » et des spécialistes d’un peu partout en
Amérique du Nord parleront du rôle que les arbres urbains jouent pour garder
nos sources d’eau propres et sans danger pour les collectivités et écosystèmes
locaux.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR-CA>Les conférenciers invités comprennent M.

Gilman, université de la Floride; M. Robert France, American Society of
Landscape Architects (ASLA); et le conférencier principal : M. David Nowak,
USDA Forest Service. Les délégués à la conférence goûteront à
l’hospitalité de la Nouvelle-Écosse avec des divertissements tous les soirs et
des excursions sur le terrain qui mettront en vedette ce qu’il y a de mieux en
matière de foresterie urbaine dans la province.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span lang=FR-CA>Au sujet de Truro<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR-CA>Situé à 45 minutes au nord-est de
l’aéroport international de Halifax, Truro exemplifie la vraie « ville
forestière ». Elle abrite le parc Victoria – une forêt de 400 hectares
située au cœur du centre-ville – et Lepper Brook – une propriété située dans un
bassin hydrographique de 1 900 hectares qui approvisionne la ville et la région
environnante en eau potable. Truro est une des rares collectivités de
l’Atlantique à avoir des employés à temps plein qui prennent soin de la forêt
urbaine. Elle a été nommée une collectivité<i> Ma rue, mes arbres </i>en 1997
par Arbres Canada. Depuis cette date, Truro a été l’hôte de quatre projets
commémoratifs de plantation d’arbres organisés par Arbres Canada, y compris
l’Année internationale des personnes âgées (1999), le 75<sup>e</sup>
anniversaire de la pension de la sécurité de la vieillesse au Canada (2002) et
la célébration du 40<sup>e</sup> anniversaire de Home Hardware avec Arbres
Canada (2004).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
