[CANUFNET] Suspension of Fleming College courses related to Urban Forestry, will this impact our Urban Forests

[Peter Wynnyczuk]

Good evening,
Very recently Fleming College has suspended the courses listed below. 
Do you think this will have a negative impact on Arboriculture and Urban 
Forestry in Canada? 
As many municipalities have and are seeking greater canopy cover targets 
through tree policies and  Bylaws, can this further weaken the voice for 
the trees?
I was fortunate be involved in Urban forestry in the GTHA for over 45 
years in various capacities and able to present a course on Urban 
Forestry in the Municipal Context for 10 years until April 2023 at 
Fleming College and am concerned we have lost significant opportunities 
for engaging students in our industry to help with succession and future 
leaders in the Urban forest.
Please let me know if you have any concerns on the impacts related to 
our environment by the loss of these courses and enrollment benefiting 
our green industry.
There may be a need to create support for reinstatement of the  Urban 
Forestry courses
Sincerely,
Peter Wynnyczuk
