Urban Trees: Bringing the Canopy to All

With extreme heat events hitting Canadian cities this summer, urban forests offer crucial relief. Yet, not all city residents have access to shady, cool streets or the other benefits that trees provide. Join us for a three-part webinar series where you'll learn about tree equity, explore how mapping the issue can drive positive change, and discover how to prioritize equity in your tree planting projects. This series aims to inspire action across Canada, empowering you to be part of the solution.

Webinar 1: An Introduction to Tree Equity
Speaker #1: Christine Earnshaw, Tree Canada
Speaker #2: Sharmeena Lalloo & Erin Whittingham, Nature Canada

Studies show that trees are not spread out evenly throughout municipalities. Instead, they are often found more in high income or mostly white neighbourhoods. Considering the numerous health, economic, social, and environmental benefits of our urban canopy, this poses considerable risks to people who are often already marginalized. Tree equity hopes to address this issue. Join us to learn from Tree Canada and Nature Canada about the concept of tree equity, what it is, recent research of Canadian cities, and recommendations for what to do about it.
