Do you worry about the air quality in your community? Would you like to see more trees in your neighbourhood?
Join Environment Hamilton (EH) and Hamilton Naturalists' Club (HNC) on Saturday, April 16 from 10:00am to 12:00pm for an interpretive walking tour of the Hamilton Beach Community that will highlight the relationship between urban trees and air quality. We'll be meeting in the parking lot at the Lakeland Centre - 180 Van Wagner's Beach Road. You will learn about local sources of air particulate pollution and how trees are providing a buffer from that pollution. We'll also look at areas that might benefit from more trees. This is part of the new Trees Please: Green Solutions to Air Pollution project which is training volunteers to monitor local air quality and to assess tree health in the neighbourhood. This information will be used to create a tree-planting strategy for the neighbourhood that prioritizes tree planting in locations that lack trees and have poor air quality. We'll then put that strategy into action - enlisting community volunteers to help us to grow, plant and maintain trees and improve local air quality in the process. Join us to learn about how you can be involved in this exciting new project!
