City partners with BC Hydro to plant trees at Kinsmen Park
The City of Cranbrook continues to beautify selected areas throughout the city thanks to a partnership with BC Hydro.
This spring, in celebration of Arbor Day, volunteers from the City of Cranbrook and BC Hydro will be planting 27 trees along the bike path in Kinsmen Park on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“We very much appreciate BC Hydro’s ongoing support toward making our community an even more attractive place to live,” says Mayor Wayne Stetski. “Kinsmen Park is one of Cranbrook’s great assets and this will enhance its value to the many citizens who use the park for walking, soccer, frisbee, kite flying, relaxing or cycling through on Rotary Trail.”
BC Hydro works with municipalities and communities to encourage the planting of low growing vegetation near power lines. It has provided financial support for community tree planting initiatives in East Kootenay communities and throughout the province.
Projects with the City of Cranbrook include Maple Lane Re-greening Project, the Gyro Park Beautification Project, Idlewild Peace Park Project, as well as supporting Communities in Bloom projects.
