An ecologist with Trees Canada says progress is being made with the reforestation of urban centers.
Bruce Roberts says he’s been involved with numerous initiatives in various areas of the province over the years including Gander, Corner Brook, Grand Falls-Windsor and most recently in St. John’s.
He says that almost everywhere has a tree-planting program these days, and that level of interest is great to see.
He says with an increased emphasis on climate change in recent years there has been more interest in tree planting.
