Join the OURS-Winnipeg campaign to ensure Winnipeg City Council places a budget priority on our urban forest!
Email Mayor Bowman and your councillor to let them know you want to see increased forestry funding in the 2020 budget, in order to save our canopy.

The City of Winnipeg’s iconic tree canopy is in crisis due to disease, climate change and chronic under-funding. October’s unprecedented storm displayed the challenges extreme weather can place on the urban forest and the need for its stable funding and care. The city’s forestry budget has not allowed for adequate disease management(p. 17 ), planting(p. 148), or pruning, (we fall well below industry best practices, p. 149). As a result, we are losing our canopy.
Please try to get your letter emailed before Wednesday, November 27, the city committee meeting for the Parks and Open Spaces.
