  I am interested in knowing of the economic impact of Canada's urban forests, namely:

  ·         What your municipality spends on its urban forests (planting, maintenance, takedowns, education etc.) including salaries

  ·         How many people are employed in urban forestry in your community/in Canada

  ·         How your spending on urban forests has increased (or decreased) over the last 10 years

   

  Please reply to me directly. Thanks.
