SNAP Teams
Habitat Restoration
The Habitat Restoration team restores and enhances natural areas like forests and meadows. They make a big difference by removing invasive plants, cleaning up refuse and yard waste, installing habitat structures, and planting native trees and shrubs.
Urban Forestry Outreach
The Urban Forestry Outreach team promotes nature appreciation and park stewardship by interacting with park neighbours and park users throughout the city. Look for them at community festivals and environmental events around Surrey, or book them for your own neighbourhood event! Contact the SNAP Coordinator at snap.program@gmail.com to enquire.
Tree Care
Boulevard and park trees are important parts of our City’s green infrastructure and provide many benefits to the community. The SNAP Tree Care team undertakes a range of maintenance and enhancement projects to improve the health and vitality of shade trees across Surrey.
