Camrose Urban Forest Project

Urban forests are one key to building a resilient city as urban trees provide numerous benefits to city residents including environmental, social and economic. This project includes two key components. The first is for the intern to help complete the City of Camrose street-tree inventory, while the second is for the intern to contribute toward a research team completing a five-year re-inventory of all public and private trees in a local neighbourhood, following up from the previous inventory in 2019. The City of Camrose views greenspaces and the urban forest as a contribution toward an exceptional quality of life. This project will benefit the municipality as each of the outcomes support improved decision-making around urban forest management practices based on reliable information. Additionally, some findings of this project may be transferable to any other small, rural municipalities across the Prairies.
