[CANUFNET] Borrowing funds to plant trees

[Peter Murray]

Cedric;   Gananoque is a town of 5,200, and has always funded its tree planting program of 15  or so trees from current budgets. The Chief Clerk tells me that, if necessary the town Council could direct funds from any source, from the capital works program specifically for tree planting. It is strictly a Council decision. In the future, it might well be considered for funding to replace ash trees that succumb to the EAB.  Peter Murray Chairman, Urban Forest Committee

  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.

   

  Thanks,


  Cédric
