Street Tree Assessment and Inventory - Street trees were inventoried as part of the Region's Asset Management Strategy. A GIS data base was developed to increase our knowledge and ability to deal with potential stressors on Regional Street trees. Street Tree Planting Guidelines have been developed to help protect trees and improve tree survival. The Corporate Clean Air Task Force oversees the Region's actions towards improved air quality and monitors air quality in Regional Operations. A plan for salt use on Regional roads attempts to decrease impacts on the environment while providing safe conditions on our winter roads.
