<p>On Tuesday, February 18, Town of Collingwood Council approved the new Urban Forest Management Plan. The Collingwood Urban Forest Management Plan articulates urban forest management goals within the vision of Collingwood’s urban forest as expressed by the community while reflecting Collingwood’s biophysical and land use context. The 10 year Plan provides key recommendations to plan, preserve, and protect our Urban Forest through a comprehensive tree inventory and canopy cover analysis. Recommendations for policies and procedures will ensure that proper arboreal practices strengthen the life and quality of the urban forest as well as improve green infrastructure that will reduce the impact of storm water effects.</p>

<p> Collingwood’s cluster of tech companies are piloting a unique approach to stormwater management using an interconnected set of devices. Known as the Stormwater Collingwood Pilot Project, a group of companies specializing in water related technologies came together several years ago to solve a problem…reducing the amount of water that comes off houses during major storm events, and then spills into stormwater systems. They hypothesized that if water could be better managed at the house ‘lot’ level, there could be a significant decrease in spikes the Town’s stormwater systems experience. And there could be additional spinoff benefits, including lowering the risk of flooded basements.</p>
