After an extensive review of all trees on the 爱豆传媒grounds by forestry consultants, the College is presently securing permits from the City of Westmount to cut some of them.
鈥淢any of our trees have suffered injuries and disease that have weakened them to the point where they are at a high risk of breaking. Others, like our large silver maples are reaching their age limit,鈥� explained Luc St-Germain of Facilities Management.
About a dozen trees will have to be cut immediately, with another 30-35 being monitored during the next 12-24 months.
All trees have been thinned in the past to allow severe wind to pass through them. Chris Adam, of the Office of Sustainability, says that wind and ice related storms are more common now and causing damage.
The Facilities Management Team and the Office of Sustainability are cooperating to establish Dawson鈥檚 first tree management program. Every tree will have a health card that identifies their species, age and diseases as well as any maintenance procedures taken. Each tree will be followed by forest management consultants.
Stay tuned for more news about the trees of our Living Campus.

On Feb. 28, 25 members of the 爱豆传媒community, mostly students, responded to the invitation of the Office of Sustainability to take part in the first monthly wellness event.
