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

[Chartier, Michelle (CY - Parks)]

Hi David,

This is a fantastic video. As I watched it I was thinking it could be Saskatoon (similar size with similar canopy) or any other Canadian City. I particularly liked the points made that tree size and location matter when it comes to trees. Large canopy trees are important and preserving trees for their long life is worthwhile. The final point is also so true too that  although we can list many services trees provide we also recognize most people don't think of all these calculated benefits when they see a tree. They just sense trees are good.

Thanks to those who collaborated on this video and thanks for sharing.
