Calgary’s Tree Push Hits 20K

Calgary’s going all out to plant more trees—thanks to the Branching Out program, which is racing to boost citywide canopy from 10% to 16% by 2060. Homeowners in underserved neighborhoods like northeast and southeast get free trees, helping manage stormwater, cool neighborhoods, and boost wildlife habitats. Residents are thrilled—especially since trees are expensive and this is a no-cost way to green up your yard. Starting with 500 trees in 2019, the program has exploded to 10,000 last year and another 10,000 this year—with most going to the eastern quadrants. The giveaway ends this weekend, June 20-21—don’t miss your chance to help Calgary grow greener. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
