The Region of Peel has demonstratively stated that we the citizens of the realm are 42K trees richer in the last 2 Years. Huge Kudos`s!
The impact of planted mini forests on 1/2 acre or less throughout our urban environment are now being heralded by scientists and environmentalists as colossal climate changers.
These mini oasis have shown to cool urban landscapes by as much as 5 degrees C.
The impact of 2.5 million planted trees province-wide, on the lives of our children and their children is immeasurable.
The fact that the federal government has promised to plant and provide 1 Billion Trees through this decade is especially noteworthy.
Caledon`s >300 KM of networked trails are the perfect bodice for a team of arborists and landscape architects to create a dreamscape of trees.
Just Imagine what a > 100,000 trees could accomplish in the hands of a modern day Calvert Vaux or Fredrick Olmstead?
Parks such as these would surpass such esteemed recreational refuges as NYC Central park, Montreal`s Mont Royal and Brooklyn`s Prospect park, to mention but a few.
The bold planner or politician with a fair degree of temerity and vision would enrich the lives of millions for generations. All the while making Caledon one of the most beautiful towns in Canada.
May we all “Go where no man has gone before” in creating a better, safer and environmentally friendly Caledon.
