She looks around Westvale in west Waterloo and questions why so many trees look like they’re not thriving, if there’s something in the soil or water........Flood wants to know the cause and remedy for what she says is afflicting the neighbourhood’s greenery, and she worries about the health of people living there. “Just replacing trees isn’t the solution.”
A resident of Waterloo, Ontario, has raised concerns about the health of trees in her local neighborhood, especially those that have been recently planted. She has observed that a significant number of these trees are failing to thrive, with some having already died. The resident attributes this poor health to what she perceives as a lack of adequate care and maintenance from the city's urban forestry department. She may be highlighting issues such as improper planting techniques, insufficient watering, or inadequate soil conditions, which are common challenges faced by urban trees. Her concern underscores the importance of proper tree care and the need for cities to invest in the health of their urban forests.
