[CANUFNET] Borrowing funds to plant trees

[Cedric Bertrand]

Hello, my name is Cédric Bertrand and I am a Project Manager at Tree Canada.

I am seeking the help of urban foresters across the country on the CUFN listserv as I would like the following question to be answered:

Are municipalities in Canada able to borrow funds to plant trees as part of their Three-Year Capital Works Program (TCWP)? Or can funding for trees solely be sought within a larger development project?

Per example, I know some municipailities can borrow funds to build a sidewalk, a building or other "grey infrastructures" but not for "green infrastructures".

Please let me know whether this is the case (or not) in your municipality. Please respond to me directly at cbertrand at treecanada.ca<mailto:cbertrand at treecanada.ca>.

Thanks,

Cédric
