<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I was wondering if there were many municipalities out there that had specific strategies or action plans that relate to <b>tree planting on private and institutional land</b>, which can often be 50% or much more of a city's total area, and therefore is a critical piece of the puzzle in achieving canopy and other broader urban forest objectives.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm referring to something along the lines of Montreal and Soverdi's <a href="https://soverdi.org/approche/alliance#alliance">Alliance forêt urbaine</a> (plan <a href="https://ville.montreal.qc.ca/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/GRANDS_PARCS_FR/MEDIA/DOCUMENTS/PAC_JUIN_2012_FINAL.PDF">here</a>), or Toronto's <a href="https://www.toronto.ca/business-economy/partnerships-sponsorships-donations/partner-2/parks-environment/urban-forestry-grants-and-incentives/">grants and incentives program</a>. These are not necessarily one program that's being offered by a single organization (eg. LEAF Toronto's backyard tree planting program, or CVC's <a href="https://cvc.ca/your-land-water/green-cities/greening-corporate-grounds/">Greening Corporate Grounds</a> program), but is rather larger-scale, municipality-wide that mobilizes all stakeholders involved to consolidate and increase private tree planting efforts, all under one broader initiative.</div><div><br></div><div>Many UFMPs mention increasing/promoting private tree plantings, but I haven't been able to find too much about specific programs, projects, strategies, or action plans that were undertaken or are in progress.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone who is willing to share is encouraged to message me directly, I would love to have a discussion about your experiences and insights.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you kindly,<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000" face="Arial Narrow, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18px">___</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:rgb(171,201,38)">Robert Liveanu</span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:black">,</span></b></font><b><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(118,165,175)"> </span></b><i><span style="font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:black">MFC, B.Sc., Arboriculteur certifié de l'ISA</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Chargé de projets en verdissement et éducation</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">Association forestière des deux rives (AF2R)</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">870, avenue de Salaberry, local 103, Québec (Québec)  G1R 2T9</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:rgb(171,201,38)">T</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(171,201,38)"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">418 522-0006 poste 3022</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(5,99,193)"><a href="mailto:foret@af2r.org" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">foret@af2r.org</a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(171,201,38)"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif;color:rgb(171,201,38)">|</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(5,99,193)"> <a href="http://www.af2r.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">www.af2r.org</a></span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><img border="0" width="209" height="105" src="cid:image001.png@01D5A37E.435B4780" alt="signature_46156186" style=
