[CANUFNET] Raising the Profile of Urban Forestry in Ontario / Rehausser le profil de la foresterie urbaine en Ontario

Fri Oct 10 15:10:53 EDT 2014

Hello , 

In the course of  researching and developing our project , we see a lack of
integration of all aspects of managing the complete cycle of the urban
forest. ( not just planting trees ).

Many cites bear heavy costs to plant trees and maintain their urban
forests.... (with little to no monetary return and sometimes with
off-gassing, composting problems.) 

We are promoting /facilitating a “closed loop” system where all stages are
integrated , including ; 

·         Appropriate species selection

·         growing, seedling propagation

·          planting, growing, pruning-for-value, maintaining, 

·         biomass collection,

·          harvesting, and 

·         wood processing (powered with renewable energy) 

We welcome feedback and inquiries. ( weblink below)

Hello,

It may be worth noting that in Premier Wynne’s mandate letter to the new
Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, made public for the first time,
one of the points appears particularly relevant to urban forestry:

·         “Working with municipalities and other partners to promote urban
forestry.  Your goal is to work with these partners to plant one million
trees in urban areas as part of our commitment to plant 50 million trees
provincewide.”

Folks may wish to ponder on this initiative.

Bohdan Kowalyk, R.P.F.

Raising the Profile of Urban Forestry in Ontario

By Peter Wynnyczuk, CUFN Ontario Representative

October 7, 2014

The Ontario Region of the Canadian Urban Forest has been busy trying to
maintain and enhance the urban forest. Several organizations have been
involved in trying to raise the profile of the urban forest, both
cooperatively and independently by various communications means within the
scope for the organizations to their existing and new audiences.

After an unprecedented winter ice storm that affected millions of residents
and the continuing challenge in this region, is the Emerald Ash Borer, EAB.
It is spreading quickly primarily due to the lack of coordination between
the 4 levels of government in Ontario for this federally regulated and
managed issue.

The engagement of the public and government officials is a challenging
process in this age of changing priorities of the communities and government
policies, but through the continued efforts of the Organizations in urban
and rural forestry there is more positive attention being paid to the
importance of trees in our communities.

As now there now appears a greater Federal interest being conveyed, this may
have a positive effect on the efforts made so far by the lower tier
Governments and NGO’s on raising the awareness of the benefits of the urban
forest. This is through, activities such as publications, newspaper
articles, tree walks, paddle events, presentations, media articles, tree
planting events, and student engagement events.

We look forward to engaging and energizing the movement to raise the profile
of Urban Forestry in Ontario and the myriad of benefits they provide in our
communities for future generations.

Rehausser le profil de la foresterie urbaine en Ontario

Par Peter Wynnyczuk, représentant du RCFU en Ontario

Le 7 octobre 2014

La région ontarienne du Réseau canadien de la forêt urbaine a œuvré fort
pour préserver et améliorer la forêt urbaine. Plusieurs organismes ont aidé
à rehausser le profil de la foresterie urbaine dans le cadre de leur champ
d’application, de manière coopérative ou indépendante, à l’aide de divers
moyens de communication visant leurs auditoires actuels ou de nouveaux
auditoires.

Après une tempête de verglas qui a affecté des millions de résidents, un
autre problème continue de poser des défis dans la région – l’agrile du
frêne. Ce ravageur se propage rapidement, ce qui est dû principalement au
manque de coordination entre les quatre paliers de gouvernement en Ontario
concernant ce problème réglementé et administré par le gouvernement fédéral.

La participation du public et de représentants du gouvernement constitue un
processus complexe avec les priorités des collectivités et les politiques
des gouvernements qui ne cessent de changer. Toutefois, grâce aux efforts
continus des organismes impliqués dans les activités de foresterie urbaine
et rurale, une plus grande attention positive est accordée à l’importance
des arbres dans nos collectivités.

Maintenant que le gouvernement fédéral semble démontrer un plus grand
intérêt en la matière, ceci peut influer positivement sur les efforts
déployés par les gouvernements de palier inférieur et les organismes non
gouvernementaux pour sensibiliser davantage les gens aux bienfaits de la
forêt urbaine. Ceci se fait à l’aide de diverses ressources et activités,
comme des publications, des articles de journaux, des randonnées dans des
zones boisées, des présentations, des articles médiatiques, des plantations
d’arbres et la participation d’élèves.

Nous espérons pouvoir stimuler l’engagement des gens et propulser le
mouvement pour rehausser le profil de la foresterie urbaine en Ontario et
faire connaître la vaste gamme de bienfaits que la forêt urbaine offre aux
collectivités actuelles et aux futures générations.
