"The City of Edmonton Naturalization Department, in partnership with the Federal Government's Two Billion Tree Grant, is committed to enhancing our urban landscape by planting 300 hectares of City Openspace by 2030. Through our Root for Trees program, we engage volunteers and leverage Naturalization Contractors to achieve this ambitious goal.

Our team of creative landscape and environmental experts oversees every aspect of the project, from initial site selection and design to material procurement, construction, warranty, and long-term monitoring. This comprehensive approach ensures the success and sustainability of our green initiatives. With dedicated teamwork and strategic planning, we are confident in our ability to meet our planting targets and continue fostering a greener, more sustainable future for Edmonton."
