It was a hot and steamy night on Wednesday, but people came out to hear about St. John's Park's history and trees. Join us this Wednesday for Vimy Ridge Memorial Park!
Join us on Wednesday, July 29th, at 6:30 pm for a walk of historic St. John's Park! Hear about its history, find out about the types of trees planted there, and learn how you can identify trees on your own walks. #winnipeg
At yesterday's council meeting, $1.236m was reinstated to the city's tree planting budget AND Journey to Churchill exhibit got its funding. The tree planting funds came from "debt capacity arising from the Water and Sewer Budget", so no front-line services were cut. Next post for video...
We're at City Hall this morning to address council about the EPC motion to cut $1.236 from the city's tree planting budget. Many councillors say they won't support it and the mayor says he will walk on a motion to reinstate it, but the original EPC motion is still on the agenda.
*For now, our walk is still on for tonight. We'll make a final call at 5 pm if it will go ahead or not* Come hear about the history of the park and walk it with an arborist who will point out the varieties of trees, signs of good and bad tree health, and how to identify trees on your own walks.
Our Summer Park Walk series begins on Weds, July 15 at 6:30 pm with Fisher Park at 705 Fisher St. Come hear about the history of the park and walk it with an arborist who will point out the varieties of trees there, signs of good and bad tree health, and how to identify trees on your own walks.
Thanks, Winnipeg, for contacting the mayor and council to let them know what you thought about the $1.326m cut to the city's tree planting budget. Your voices have been heard and the mayor is now proposing to reinstate that funding: www.winnipeg.ca/news/2026-07... We'll keep you posted!
Bad news on the city front. Please contact your councillor to let them know that you do NOT want them to support a $1.2m million cut to the city's tree planting budget. That is a devastating amount: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...
Here is the final lineup of our free summertime park and community tree and history walks!
Three trees planted today with some great students at St. John's High School. We'll be back in the fall to plant some more!
Thanks to everyone who came out to visit or tree plant at our 25th annual Arbor Day Celebration at Bruce Park. In total,200 bare-root trees/shrubs planted along the creek and 12 x 10-gallon trees in the park. Around 600 pine plugs distributed for people to plant at home or the cottage.
Today is Trees Winnipeg's 25th annual Arbor Day Celebration. Did you know that for 40 years, it was a public holiday in Manitoba that signalled the start of cottage season? A history of Manitoba's Arbor Day I wrote for the Real Estate News: www.winnipegregionalrealestatenews.com/publications...
Arbor Day once signalled the start of cottage season
The Arbor Day holiday is a relic of Manitoba’s distant past, but for nearly 40 years it signalled the official start of cottage season.

Want pine plugs? We'll have a couple thousand red and white pines to give out on Arbor Day starting at 10:30 am, after the tree activities get underway. Best suited for sandier soils of cottage country than clay soils of Winnipeg. Courtesy of Province of MB and Lake of the Woods Brewing.
Join us for our 25th annual Arbor Day Celebration in partnership with Friends of Bruce Park, Green Drop Tree Care, and the City of Winnipeg. Thanks to #TDParkPeople #TDReadyCommitment, Essentique Spa+Salon, King's Services, and Careica Health for their contributions towards this event.
Our 600 trees are laid out at Bronx Park Community Centre. Thanks to a great team of volunteers who came out yesterday to help unload the trucks and sort them! If you ordered a tree at our Spring ReLeaf Sale, be sure to come down to 720 Henderson Highway TODAY FROM 10 AM to 2 PM to pick them up!
It is going to be extremely hot and dry for the next few days. Make sure to keep yourself and your trees hydrated. The soil around your trees need a good, deep soak, something that a sprinkler can't do. Here are some great tips:
Thanks to everyone who came out to our presentation for Trees Riverview last night. We'll have more tree care workshops over the summer!
