Bracebridge 150 Forest
In honour of the sesquicentennial, the Town of Bracebridge proudly created a legacy tree planting initiative, the Bracebridge 150 Forest which includes 150 trees planted on Town parkland between Little Ryans Way and Gostick Park, creating a lasting and living tribute to the Town’s rich history and bright future.
The 150 forest features trees of varying size and species that align with the Town’s Urban Tree Management Plan including Serviceberry, Red Maple, Sugar Maple, Yellow Birch, River Birch, Witch-Hazel, Tamarack, Apple (Cortland and Gala), Red Oak, Ironwood, Trembling Aspen, Basswood, Eastern Hemlock, and Nannyberry.
Bracebridge’s natural environment is a core piece of the community’s identity, as well as a key driver of its economic vitality and quality of life. The creation of the 150 forest aligns with Council’s commitment to enhance climate action and protect the natural environment. This initiative underscores Bracebridge’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. The new trees enhance the Town’s natural beauty, improve air quality, provide wildlife habitat, and contribute to the health and well-being of future generations.
