Protecting the urban forest

Tree maintenance begins in Buena Vista, Holliston, Wildwood and Riversdale. SASKATOON, Sask. — Starting Tuesday, Sept. 8, crews will begin pruning trees on civic property in Buena Vista, Holliston, Wildwood and Riversdale as part of the City's Boulevard Tree Maintenance Program. Tree maintenance in these neighbourhoods will continue until Dec. 15. The Boulevard Tree Maintenance Program follows a regular pruning cycle to help preserve the health of the city's tree inventory, eliminate hazards and provide clearance from buildings, signs, streetlights and utility wires. Tree maintenance often requires road restrictions. The City reminds pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to ensure safety is a priority by respecting the work zone and obeying all road restrictions and signage.
