This session will also present the research conducted for the new YXE Green Infrastructure Strategy and how it will benefit the city and its residents
The Strategy outlines 5 programs to be carried out over the next 10 years, which include:
1. Natural Areas: a program to protect, restore, and manage natural areas in the Green Network
2. Grey to Green: a program to increase green infrastructure in urban areas
3. Engaging Community with the Green Network through volunteer opportunities and education
4. Sustainable Food: Supporting local, sustainable, and equitable food in Saskatoon
5. Connecting the Green Network between natural and urban areas.
The current focus is implementation of the Green Infrastructure Strategy and how to improve green infrastructure in Saskatoon.
Urban Forestry and YXE Green Infrastructure Sustainability will have representatives speaking during this session about urban forests, YXC Green Infrastructure Strategy and the City of Saskatoon’s celebration of National Forest Week – this year’s theme “Our Forests, Continually Giving.”
