A significant grant has been awarded to support tree planting efforts. Funding of $150,000 from TD Bank will aid in expanding the tree canopy. This contribution advances a plan to increase green infrastructure, which is crucial for mitigating the urban heat island effect.

The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon where developed areas become warmer due to the presence of buildings and pavement, and a lack of trees. A goal has been set to expand the tree canopy to a certain percentage by 2030. Further details about this initiative are available, including the role of corporate citizenship in supporting environmental efforts.
