Naturalization
Naturalization is an alternative landscape management technique. Using a less restricted processes of growth and change allow the landscape to become more natural by planting trees and shrubs that are found naturally in Alberta.
Areas Being Naturalized
Since the spring of 2014, a number of areas in Edmonton have been identified for naturalization and will no longer be part of the City’s regular mowing cycle. Most of these areas are along arterial and collector roadways. There are also some areas adjacent to parks and residents that are under consideration.
Benefits of Naturalization
Economic, environmental, and quality of life benefits are all reasons for naturalizing.
Research Projects
In May 2014 the University of Alberta, and City of Edmonton partnered in a research project on naturalized areas.
