Vancouver is aiming to cover nearly a third of the city in trees by 2050, up from the 22 per cent proposed in 2018 — the last time the city updated its strategy.
This commitment comes amidst challenges posed by development and climate change, as well as ongoing inequity issues around tree distribution in the city. Stephen Quinn, the host of CBC's The Early Edition, discusses the plan with Joe McLeod, the city's associate director of parks responsible for urban forestry.
