[CANUFNET] Short video about the importance of trees from Halifax, NS

[Councillor Laura Dupont]

I’m sharing this brilliant video far and wide, it is so good!   Industry people understand the value of trees but the rest of us need to acknowledge the vital role they play in a healthy community and this cheeky video gets the point across so effectively.

I’m using it to hopefully convince my City Council to set a bold canopy target as we update our Tree Bylaw.

Thank you David Foster, Planifax, and Halifax, well done!

Thank you David and  all your colleagues at Dal and Halifax for such a straight talking video, combined with a bit of humour. I will use the video an introduction to benefits of trees and green spaces,  as it’s a great way to start a conversation and discussion.
Btw It’s already on LinkedIn, with the arborists network I have.
I hope you all get some credit for doing this, I would send it all Arboriculture, horticulture societies and Forestry associations if haven’t already.
Best regards Mark

Hi CANUFNET folks,

A collaboration between the Halifax Regional Municipality and PLANifax, a local group of planning enthusiasts/students/videographers has produced a new video about the importance of trees to urban environments. Share widely to help spread the word about the unsung heroes of our cities! Thanks for your help getting it out.
