[CANUFNET] Urban forest NGOs

[ebuffie at mymts.net]

Hi Tyler,

 Not sure if we fit the bill, but over the past 2 years our group, the Winnipeg Trees Please Coalition, has lobbied all three levels of government for more money for urban forestry and for a policy shift in the way government’s view urban forests. Our approach has been to argue that trees are essential municipal infrastructure and should be maintained, protected and funded accordingly. Most recently we presented at the public hearings on the municipal budget. I think we’ve had a fairly big impact for such a small group. Happy to talk if it helps.

Best,

Erna

As such, I am asking that this network assist me by sending names of NGOs in your local area doing this sort of work. I’m interested in groups whose primary focus is urban forestry but additionally environmental NGOs who have historically contributed to urban-forest programs.
