Here are some ways that you can help care for the urban forest year-round:

When visiting the urban forest, please remember to:

  • Keep our urban green spaces clean – including our street tree beds, public parks, community gardens and woodlands.
  • Avoid climbing or hanging hammocks or other objects on trees.
  • Stay on marked paths in parks and natural forested (woodland) areas.
  • Keep dogs always leashed in woodland areas to protect sensitive wildlife areas.
  • Enjoy flowers with your eyes, but do not pick blooms.
