Paolo Galati told
The Suburban<\/i> that the city plans to spend about $180,000 to expand Laval\u2019s Nature Centre\u2019s tree canopy this year by 3.3 hectares at the park\u2019s north end. <\/p>\nThe St. Vincent de Paul councilor, who lives within walking distance, rhapsodizes reflexively whenever he talks about the Nature Centre. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so beautiful,\u201d he interjected in an interview. \u201cWithin minutes, you\u2019re away from spirited away from urban bustle. Once you\u2019re walking through the forested area there, even though you\u2019re still in the city, you feel as though you have been transported somewhere else and engulfed by nature.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole project is to create a little more forest to mark Laval\u2019s 50th anniversary,\u201d Galati explained. \u201cWe intend to plant at least 10,000 new trees and shrubs where the park borders the highway exit ramps. Right now, only grass is growing there. The trees will serve as a natural air filter that will purify the carbon emissions there.\u201d <\/p>\n
Contractors will commence planting in April, he said. They will consist of mature varieties, rather than tiny saplings. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe trees will range in diameter from 15-200 cm,\u201d Galati added. The city has ordered an impressive variety of species, which include: <\/p>\n
