This past October, nine young, healthy trees were destroyed in Martensville’s Kinsmen Park due to vandalism.
The trees were planted in 2023 and had established well as a part of Martensville’s premier green spaces.
“The loss of these trees has cost this community thousands of dollars,” the City of Martensville shared on social media.
The City of Martensville added that planting trees is a priority for them to ensure that the community has an urban forestry that can add to the quality of life for residents.
“To everyone who values our parks and community; let’s do better. Let’s step up to protect these spaces by speaking out when we see vandalism and taking pride in the beauty and amenities that make our parks special.”
The vandalism was reported to the RCMP and residents are reminded to stay vigilant and report all vandalism to Recreation and Community Services.
“Together, we can keep Kinsmen Park and all our public spaces, safe, attractive and a welcoming place for everyone.”
