Fredericton adopts plan for keeping its urban forest healthy
CBC
After 18 months of work by a consultant, the City of Fredericton can now estimate how many trees it has in its urban core: 19,288.
On Monday night, city council adopted a strategy for managing the urban forest on municipal land after commissioning Stantec Consulting in 2022 to come up with a 25-year management plan.
"There's so many things to be proud of Fredericton about, but our trees are really a point of pride for so many of us," said Coun. Ruth Breen, chair of the livable community committee.
Stantec's full proposal was first presented to the committee on Oct. 17.
