EAB Update

City contracted crews will be working in the Ward 3 community to remove Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Applewood Heights, Applewood Hills, Burnhamdale Park, Forest Glen, Fleetwood Park, Garnetwood Park, Gulleden Park, Hickory Green Park, Rockwood Glen Park, Rathwood District Park, Shelby Park, and Willowcreek Park. All trees scheduled for removals have been marked with an orange X.

Crews will be working Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. After the initial tree removal, crews will remove the tree stumps, repair the ground with topsoil and reseed. All works will be weather dependant.

All City-owned park trees removed due to EAB will be replanted over several years. This is due to the high number of trees removed from parks, the short planting season and weather conditions.

Forestry is currently working on plans to replant woodlots. Each woodlot is unique and will require additional work to create individual plans for each site. For some, that may mean letting them regenerate naturally while others will have trees replanted.

EAB Ash Stump Removal in Parks

City contracted crews will begin removing stumps in Willowcreek Park.

All stumps are currently painted bright orange and are highly visible. City staffs have obtained locates of underground utilities in each park. After stump removal; crews will repair the ground and topsoil and reseed. Stump removal operations are weather dependant.

All City-owned park trees removed due to EAB will be replanted and will be installed over several years due to the: volume of trees removed from parks; limiting weather conditions; short planting season and the high demand and subsequent shortage of caliper trees.

One Million Trees Mississauga

The City of Mississauga is happy and excited to release their 2017 Earth Day video to celebrate Canada 150 and One Million Trees Mississauga.

They have also reached a milestone of 250,000 trees planted with the One Million Trees Mississauga program this spring(a total is 254,087 trees)! That puts the City almost an entire year ahead of their targets for each year to reach our goal of 1,000,000 by the year 2032!
