We planted six more trees at Ecole River Heights School this afternoon. Half were with the school's enthusiastic "Team 17", and the others were with a U of W landscape design class. Thanks to everyone who came out to help!

Thanks, Winnipeg! Our Fall ReLeaf sale is now over. Since 2016, this program has distributed over 9,500 trees to Winnipeg property owners. These purchases are our major fundraising source and supports the community work that we do.

It's an early start to organize for a tree planting at Harrow School later this morning. Six trees will be planted along the Taylor Avenue fence to provide a buffer between the school yard and the noise and dust from the busy road.

Bad tree care we saw this summer #3: Mulch volcanoes can suffocate the roots, and you never want damp mulch constantly against the trunk, or rot could set in Spread mulch 2-4 inches deep around the tree going past the drip line. Roots will grow out in search of the moister, nutrient-rich soil.

treeswinnipeg.bsky.social @treeswinnipeg.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Bad tree planting we saw this summer #2: This was planted between a newish condo building and a busy road. It's now about to grow into a series of overhead wires and pole-top transformers and will soon get a visit from Manitoba Hydro! Look up before you plant and anticipate future hazards!

treeswinnipeg.bsky.social @treeswinnipeg.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Bad tree planting we saw this summer #1: When planting a container tree, the roots might be girdled inside the pot. Tease them out with your hands to encourage them to grow outwards. This likely went right from the pot into ground. Now it is now wobbly and will soon topple.

We're going through a hot, dry spell right now and your trees, specially recently planted ones, on your property and boulevard could use a little help. Here's a great info sheet about how to water trees. Remember, you want to deep soak the ground to get down at root level.

At yesterday's council meeting, $1.236m was reinstated to the city's tree planting budget AND Journey to Churchill exhibit got its funding. The tree planting funds came from "debt capacity arising from the Water and Sewer Budget", so no front-line services were cut. Next post for video...

We're at City Hall this morning to address council about the EPC motion to cut $1.236 from the city's tree planting budget. Many councillors say they won't support it and the mayor says he will walk on a motion to reinstate it, but the original EPC motion is still on the agenda.

Thanks, Winnipeg, for contacting the mayor and council to let them know what you thought about the $1.326m cut to the city's tree planting budget. Your voices have been heard and the mayor is now proposing to reinstate that funding: www.winnipeg.ca/news/2026-07... We'll keep you posted!

Bad news on the city front. Please contact your councillor to let them know that you do NOT want them to support a $1.2m million cut to the city's tree planting budget. That is a devastating amount: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Today is Trees Winnipeg's 25th annual Arbor Day Celebration. Did you know that for 40 years, it was a public holiday in Manitoba that signalled the start of cottage season? A history of Manitoba's Arbor Day I wrote for the Real Estate News: www.winnipegregionalrealestatenews.com/publications...

Arbor Day once signalled the start of cottage season
The Arbor Day holiday is a relic of Manitoba’s distant past, but for nearly 40 years it signalled the official start of cottage season.

Want pine plugs? We'll have a couple thousand red and white pines to give out on Arbor Day starting at 10:30 am, after the tree activities get underway. Best suited for sandier soils of cottage country than clay soils of Winnipeg. Courtesy of Province of MB and Lake of the Woods Brewing.

It is going to be extremely hot and dry for the next few days. Make sure to keep yourself and your trees hydrated. The soil around your trees need a good, deep soak, something that a sprinkler can't do. Here are some great tips:
