Residents can help by watering street trees with at least 12 to 20 litres of water (five to 10 minutes with a slow running hosepipe) twice per week over the roots. Regional water restrictions do not apply to trees and shrubs, but be water-wise by ensuring that all of it gets to the tree.

In the past decade the Park Board has planted over 40,000 new trees on our streets. It is estimated that the 135,000 trees currently found on our streets are valued at approximately $500 million.

Extreme fire hazard(danger) rating in Vancouver parks

July 22, 2009 (No. 41)-Park Board staff raised the fire hazard rating to extreme today in Vancouver parks following several weeks of warm, dry conditions. Effective today, the following precautions are now in place: ·No smoking in parks or on trails

·No charcoal or wood burning barbecues (gas barbecues are permitted but must be elevated off the ground at least 75cm) ·Stay on trails

Fire hazard signage is in place in Vancouver’s heavily wooded parks-Stanley Park, Everett Crowley Park and Jericho Beach Park-which are especially vulnerable（易受攻击的） to fires.

Park visitors should take precautions against accidental fires and be alert to signs of fire or smoke:

·Campfires are not permitted at any time in any of Vancouver’s parks or beaches ·Report any signs of smoke or fire by calling 9-1-1 immediately

·Watch for forest fire hazard signs in some parks and additional fire safety information posted in parks and on the Park Board website The Park Board works together with Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services and Metro Vancouver Regional District to provide a coordinated approach to fire prevention, suppression, preparation and protections for Vancouver’s urban forests and parks. Maintenance staff and Park Rangers(护林员) are vigilant(警觉) to keeping our parks fire safe. Fire prevention, however, is everyone’s responsibility.
