By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Oakville is planting more trees than it's losing with Holcim Canada and the Joshua's Creek Residents' Association. "Support from our corporate partners is key to maintaining and building Oakville's tree canopy," said Town Parks and Open Space Director Chris Mark. "With a canopy cover target of 40 per cent by 2057, every tree counts and we applaud Holcim for providing these trees and participating in this event." The Town's Forestry staff is also building and enhancing Oakville's tree canopy through the bi-annual treatment of more than 6,000 public ash trees to protect them from the Emerald Ash Borer and replacement initiatives for trees killed by the bug. "Oakville is renowned for its abundance of beautiful trees and fantastic green spaces," said Barb Smith, corporate social responsibility co-ordinator at Holcim Canada Bring this AD & get an additional Regular Price 9 · Thursday, May 24, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com While trees may be coming down thanks to the Emerald Ash Borer, the Town of Oakville says more trees are on their way up. The Town planted 300 white pine and white spruce seedlings at Joshua Valley Park this month, in partnership Inc.'s Mississauga Cement Plant. "We're thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with the Town of Oakville on this tree-planting event," said Smith, noting it fits the company's goal of being responsible corporate citizens in the local community and round out Earth month activities." Red pine seedlings were also planted this month at Iroquois Shoreline Woods Park.
