Crews have started pruning trees across Grande Prairie. The city says the plan is to address tree maintenance needs in the area.
College Park, Copperwood, Countryside South, Mission Heights, Royal Oaks, Westgate, Centre West Business Park, and Vision West communities should be covered over five months.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says the work is meant to keep the aesthetic of urban greenery while helping protect tree health as crews can catch issues or diseases that are popping up.
“By maintaining our urban forest, the City of Grande Prairie ensures that trees remain in good health, reducing the likelihood of pests and disease while enhancing the natural beauty of our surroundings.”
Tree pruning will begin in November of this year and is scheduled to wrap up next April.
