What are the benefits of Naturalization?

Naturalization in Edmonton

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 restoring sections of City green spaces to a more natural state. Naturalization is occurring throughout the city, along roadways, stormwater ponds, park spaces, and in new development communities.

Where will we be planting in Fall 2026?

We acknowledge the traditional land on which we reside, is in Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis’ homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. Together we call upon all of our collective, honoured traditions and spirits to work in building a great city for today and future generations.
