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.
