Anjou plans more than 200 large trees in September planting campaign
Public spaces, park edges and a pedestrian passage are among the locations identified by the borough.
More than 200 large trees are due to be planted in Anjou’s public spaces by the end of September, the borough said in a September 4 update.
Recent planting has included the Peterborough dog park, where the borough wants to provide additional shade. Trees have also been added alongside Parc d’Antioche to strengthen the planted buffer facing boulevard des Galeries-d’Anjou.
Further locations named in the announcement include the Verdelles pedestrian passage, the business park, roundabouts and other green spaces.
Some trees are intended to provide continuity in the canopy as unhealthy older trees eventually need to be removed. That makes the campaign partly a replacement strategy as well as an addition to public greenery.
The announcement sets a borough-wide target and identifies several areas, but does not give a street-by-street work calendar. Residents can follow the municipal update for more detail.
