WINNIPEG --
A local program is back to help provide some relief to Winnipeg’s tree population.
On Wednesday, Trees Winnipeg announced that its Winnipeg ReLeaf Tree Planting Program is back for its sixth year and offering more packages than ever before.
Through this program, homeowners can purchase tree packages that include the trees, mulch, tree guards, and tree planting information.
“At the rate that we’re losing trees because of Dutch Elm Disease and Emerald Ash Borer and other problems, it’s really important to people that we continue to plant these trees and care for them so we can maintain that mature canopy,” said Martine Balcaen, program director of Trees Winnipeg.
