Subject: [CANUFNET] Looking for hard surface planting experiences/successes

 

Dear urban forestry colleagues,


We are working on a project with our local Business Improvement Association in Ottawa to examine the barriers around successful hard surface tree establishment along our main street, and how to overcome them. We have completed a cursory literature review, but with limited data, I am reaching out to the UF community with hopes that some of you will be willing to share your anecdotal experiences on what you feel are the best ways to plant trees successfully in hard surfaces. We recognize that soil volume is a significant barrier, and will be making recommendations to increase this, where possible, and incorporate the use of soil cells, if feasible. For situations where this is not an option, what are the next best alternatives? 

If any of you have experience in your areas with hard surface planting, I would appreciate learning from you! 

 

Please feel free to contact me directly if you prefer: astrid.nielsen at dendronforestry.ca <mailto:astrid.nielsen at dendronforestry.ca> 

Thank you,


Astrid
