The Bus Turn around on Hawkstone Drive was paid for by the City of Calgary's Integrated Pest Management Department (not LEAF) as an experimental program to bring natural, drought tolerant trees, grasses and shrubs to city sites in need of a makeover.
Although the future maintenance and care of this Transit Loop is taken care of by The City of Calgary's Transit Department (not our North Parks Department), voting Yes for the LEAF program in 2004 drew the attention of The City of Calgary's Pest Management Department.
They chose this site thanks to the encouragement of the North Parks Division and Calgary Transit's overwhelming task of maintaining numerous landscaping sites.
Hawkwood's commitment to landscaping improvements provided us with the funding and manpower from The Integrated Pest Management Department to improve a site that would have remained a real eyesore in our community. We are grateful for the face lift!
Take a moment to view the dramatic improvements LEAF has made.
