Today is World Forestry Day and TD Green Streets is celebrating by announcing the 21 Canadian communities that will receive TD Green Streets grants in 2012.
Grants will be used to green local communities through tree planting, inventory, maintenance and educational activities and are awarded for innovative approaches to municipal forestry.
The TD Green Streets program awards funding to projects in Canadian municipalities and Aboriginal communities, as well as to Business Improvement Associations (BIAs) in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. A joint initiative between TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Tree Canada, it is the only nationally based municipal forestry innovation program. Since 1994, the program has awarded funding to more than 475 communities, improving municipal green spaces and diversifying urban canopies.
