<p class=MsoNormal><i>(Sept 16, 2010, Truro, NS) </i>The 9<sup>th</sup>
Canadian Urban Forest Conference (CUFC9) is less than a month away – Oct. 5-7,
2010 in Truro, NS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is a “can’t miss” event for foresters, arborists, city
planners and environmentalists interested in Canada’s urban forests.
Focused on the theme of <i>Water, Trees & Communities</i> a roster of
expert speakers will discuss the benefits of urban trees to residents, best
ways to expand existing urban forests and how to protect them from disease and
mismanagement. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>CUFC9 is a green conference, powered by Bullfrog Energy,
with emphasis on recycling and offsetting carbon emissions through tree
planting. <o:p></o:p></p>

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></span></p>

Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization established to encourage
Canadians to plant and care for trees in urban and rural environments. A winner
of the Canadian Environmental Award (2007), Tree Canada engages Canadian
companies, government agencies and individuals to support the planting of
trees, the greening of schoolyards, and other efforts to sensitize Canadians to
the benefits of planting and maintaining trees. To date, more than 76 million
trees have been planted, more than 450 schoolyards have been greened, and Tree
Canada has helped organize 8 national urban forest conferences. More
