Urban Design Standards and Public Realm Guidelines for the Village of New Maryland
June 6, 2022
The Village of New Maryland was the successful recipient of a Treemendous Communities grant from Tree Canada, made possible by UPS and their generous funding and volunteer contributions.
Grant funds in the amount of $10,000 were used to purchase 73 trees to beautify various local streets and Village-owned properties throughout the community. The project includes the planting of 12 varieties of tree species such as Oak, Maples, Pine and Butternut, to name a few.
The many benefits to urban reforestation include improved air quality; restoration of wildlife habitat; better storm water management; traffic calming, and enhanced aesthetics of neighborhoods and public gathering places.
On May 28th volunteers from UPS, Tree Canada, Village Council and staff planted at total of 41 trees. 20 trees can be spotted along the trails at the New Maryland Centre. Another 12 trees were planted in Orchard Park and 9 trees were planted at a location on Doherty Street. The trees can be identified by stakes with species information cards attached.
We sincerely thank Tree Canada and UPS for the opportunity to work together in pursuing a greener and healthier living environment for our citizens.
