The City’s Urban Forestry Division is responsible for planting and maintaining all trees located on public property. This includes trees on boulevards and medians, in parks and at civic facilities.
In 2023 and 2024, the City is receiving funding through the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund to plant additional trees in neighbourhood parks and boulevards throughout Saskatoon.
