    The urban canopy provides shade, shelter, wildlife habitat, and prevents our cement-coated cities from becoming a hot microclimate. Not only do trees help to control urban temperatures, they are also valuable at absorbing rainfall and gradually releasing that moisture that would otherwise be flushed into the ocean. Rather than reducing the urban canopy, the City of Vancouver should introduce a policy that favours planting only fruit and nut producing tree varieties that would contribute to urban food security. Perennial food sources (fruit/nut trees and shrubs) require less human resources, soil cultivation, water, and energy over time than annual vegetable gardens.
