Our approach has been to argue that trees are essential municipal infrastructure and should be maintained, protected and funded accordingly. Most recently we presented at the public hearings on the municipal budget. I think we’ve had a fairly big impact for such a small group. Happy to talk if it helps.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You can find our website here: <a href="https://treespleasewinnipeg.com/" class="">https://treespleasewinnipeg.com/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And our FB page here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Trees-Please-Winnipeg-101064112030822" class="">https://www.facebook.com/Trees-Please-Winnipeg-101064112030822</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Erna<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 13, 2022, at 12:13 PM, Tyler Doucet via CANUFNET <<a href="mailto:canufnet@list.web.net" class="">canufnet@list.web.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta charset="UTF-8" class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">Hi everyone,</span><span style="" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""> </span><span style="" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">I am a Master of Environmental Studies student at Dalhousie University.
