Save the Garry Oaks And Tree Canopy on Lynnfield Crescent
The historic Garry Oaks on Lynnfield Crescent are more than just trees; they are living monuments to our shared heritage and an essential part of the urban canopy that enriches our community. These majestic oaks, some which have stood for over two centuries, not only represent the resilience and beauty of our natural environment but also play a critical role in maintaining the ecological balance within our urban landscape.
Recently removed from the Sensitive Ecosystem Inventory (SEI), losing these ancient trees would mean losing a vital part of our local ecosystem. Garry Oaks provide habitat and food for plant and animal species and create an urban canopy. The trees contribute significantly to air quality, offer shade, and reduce urban heat
