Attention: Wildwood Tree Waterers – We need to Start Watering our Fall plantings. 

The City Forester inspected our Central Park 2023 & our Fern Gully 2024 trees we planted in the Fall and said they need to be watered ASAP! A dry Fall and not much snow this winter has resulted in dry soil conditions. Please start watering the trees every second week, 15 – 20 litres/tree. If we haven’t had much rain by July then we’ll need to water weekly.

Spread the word to other waterers. Let’s work together to grow Wildwood’s forest.

Wildwood’s Front Yard Controversy – Some Background, City By-Law N0. 95/2014 and Councillor Rollins’ plan to rectify the problem.

Wildwood Park’s name reflects its creator, Hugo Bird’s vision of a neighbourhood within a park, a green space of lawn, trees and forest from Point Road to SJR from front door to front door.That’s why there are no front streets, only common sidewalks.That’s why there are no front yard fences. That’s why there is 50’ front yard setback.That’s why By-Law No. 95/2014 (See below) was passed to protect Wildwood’s park setting enshrining the 50’ setback and no front yard fences.

Recently a bureaucratic oversight allowed the city bylaw change permitting a 45’ front yard setback without regard to Wildwood’s By-Law No. 95/2014. Councillor Sherri Rollins wants to rectify this situation with the two contradictory bylaws by passing a motion affirming By-Law No. 95/2014. (See attached)

Please read Wildwood’s 2014 bylaw and Councillor’s Rollins’ motion and action plan.  (Attached here)

Decide whether you think Hugo Bird’s vision of a community in a park is worth protecting. If you want to preserve Wildwood’s unique park setting; support Councillor Rollin’s motion, attend the city meetings and hearings, send emails to the mayor (cc Sherri), talk to your neighbours.
