Joining us now, a certified arborist audrey danielle. Good morning, andrea. Ty, thank you re industry and for being with us this morning. No problem. Tell us about what makes winnipeg so special when it comes to our tree canopy. We have one of the most lush dense tree canopies of any city in canada. >> And we're really fortunate to have been, I think often we take it for granted that a lot of cities, they don't have this kind of mature tree coverage. Absolutely. You can see in the photo that, yeah, I mean, it's beautiful in the springtime, it's beautiful in the spring, even in the winter, there's something special about it. Let's talk about trees. Winnipeg used to be called the coalition to save so you are created because the elm trees that were in our city were having some major issues. Tell us about that. So in 1992, we were created as coalition to safety owns as you know, and that was to protect our urban canopy from the threats of dutch elm disease was rampant. It was, yes, it's still a problem is still a problem. And the city of winnipeg has done a remarkable job in controlling it over so many years. A lot of cities have lost their entire owned canopy is, but we still have a fairly strong one remaining. It's still under threat hugely from the disease. We changed our name to trees winnipeg because there's more than just to tell him to seize. That's affecting our urban canopy. We have the emerald ash borer, which a can, which has made quite the and is threatening all of our ash trees, which we have mostly elm and ash coverage in the city of winnipeg. Support of the problem, I guess when they plan to these trees is that they were all the same kind of species, a forest or a tree canopy is health here. When you so you diversify, right? Yes, so our goal is to promote the diversity of trees that are planted in our communities. We recently did a planting at the greenway school in conjuction with many other partners and at the lead arborist there had over 10 different species of trees that were being planted and that will create really get sick. Sessional plans of for how the trees are growing when they die off. What's coming in the understory. They've done a really good job of creating that some may say ok, so I can help it. Notice the smell. Tell me about it smells amazing, definitely. So this is a tree I've actually for my own personal planting project. It's a cedar and it has a column their shape. And what we've decided to use it for is to create a privacy this between us and our neighbours. So that's what you want to be thinking when you're selecting a tree, why are you planting it? Is it that ornamental value? Are you looking for the beautiful fall foliage or that red coloring that is so rare in manitoba or are you looking for shade? Are you looking to reduce your cooling costs in your home? Okay. And now what's great about this tree is that it's time now to plan to raid. Yes, springtime and fall and it's time to plant those trees in your yard. Yes, we want to be avoiding that mid summer drought phase all the trees are getting very dry, even when we're planting the route starts bill exposed to a lot of sun, a lot of heat, a lot of dryness. So we wanted to it early spring as early as we can with the ground is thawed. And then we want to also do it in the late fall as far early rifle. A case arbor day's happenings
