Richmond Hill Making Progress Caring for its Urban Forest

Richmond Hill’s commitment to nurturing our urban forest is yielding remarkable results. Through the implementation of our Urban Forest Management Plan, we’ve seen our woodlots revitalized, invasive species addressed, and vibrant community engagement in tree planting initiatives. Our urban forest, consisting of 2.96 million trees, is not just a shared asset but a vital component of our city’s well-being. The recently concluded Urban Forest Study demonstrates a growth in canopy cover and tree health, while also highlighting areas for ongoing improvement. Your active involvement is essential as we work together to protect and nurture this natural treasure for a greener, healthier Richmond Hill.

保护列治文山鸟类多样性:让我们一起行动

亲爱的居民们,

您是否曾停下来思考过鸟类的益处?它们是非常美丽的生物,为我们提供食物、种子传播、授粉、害虫控制以及卫生服务,更不用说它们存在在我们生活中带来的快乐。它们寻求我们的帮助以生存。令人震惊的是,每年有超过30亿只鸟类在北美被杀害,这是一个令人担忧的趋势,我们必须予以关注。

列治文山市决心减少这些威胁,并成为解决方案的一部分。在我们努力获得鸟类友好城市认证的过程中,我们需要您的支持和参与。

Richmond Hill’s Commitment to Bird Conservation

Dear Residents,

Have you ever stopped to wonder about the benefits of birds? They are incredibly beautiful creatures, providing us with essential services such as food, seed dispersal, pollination, pest control, and sanitation, not to mention the joy of their presence in our lives. It is a small price for them to ask for our help in their survival. Shockingly, over 3 billion birds are killed annually in North America, and this is a concerning trend we must address.

Richmond Hill is determined to reduce these threats and be part of the solution. As we work towards our Bird-Friendly City certification, we need your support and involvement.
