Calgary Tree Equity

The Calgary Tree Equity program seeks to address the unequal urban tree canopy in Calgary, recognizing how low-income and racialized neighbourhoods disproportionately experience lower tree canopy. Urban trees are an increasingly important component of more liveable, healthy, and resilient cities, and yet not everybody gets to equally enjoy the benefit of trees.

Tree Equity Ambassadors

The Calgary Climate Hub is proud to share Calgary's first ever Tree Equity Ambassador Program! 

Modelled after a similar program in Austin, Texas, our Tree Equity Ambassadors will learn about the Miyawaki Forest method, and more broadly about nature-based solutions. Ambassadors will connect with communities to promote and implement eco-restoration and climate adaptation/mitigation projects within equity-deserving neighbourhoods across Calgary.

Meet our Tree Equity Ambassadors, Ekager and Magdalena!
