The City of Edmonton is looking for insights from Cumberland, Rundle Park, and Kernohan residents on how they regularly interact with and use our planned naturalization planting sites for Fall 2025. Engagement is open until August 8th.

What is Naturalization?

Naturalization is a process that transforms a manicured landscape into one reflective of the natural region. Responsible parkland care means sustainable practices that contribute to a healthy, climate-resilient, livable City for generations to come. Naturalization helps preserve and celebrate the natural plant and animal species found in our region.

For more than 25 years, Edmonton has been reverting sections of City green spaces to a more natural state through naturalization. Naturalization is occurring throughout the city - along roadways, stormwater ponds, park spaces, and in new development communities. It may even be happening in a grassy area near you!
