Celebrating the 2022 project funders

by Carol Thiessen

Trees Riverview celebrates the funders who supported our mission of tree planting and public education in 2022 in the Riverview neighbourhood of Winnipeg. In 2022, Trees Riverview oversaw the planting of 44 trees, including this Ivory silk lilac. The boulevard trees were planted largely with funding from the City of Winnipeg’s Land Dedication Reserve (LDR), supplemented by a grant from Red River Co-op and individual donations from Riverview residents. Assiniboine Credit Union supported website and logo development for Trees Riverview.
