The Municipal College of La Bruyère has decided to postpone Tree Day until 2027, an annual break motivated by budget constraints and declining participation.

Residents of La Bruyère may have noticed the absence of the traditional free tree and shrub distribution coupon in the October municipal review. This decision, far from being an oversight, is the result of deliberation by the Municipal College in response to increasing budget constraints and reduced participation in previous editions.
Aware that this event is a valued occasion for many citizens to contribute to the greening of the territory, the municipality has chosen to evolve the format by organizing Tree Day every two years. The event will therefore return in 2027.
Despite this pause, the Municipality's commitment to nature and its arboreal heritage remains strong. The municipal environmental and public works departments are planning several plantings this autumn. These actions aim to create cool islands, mitigate the effects of prevailing winds and mudflows, support local flora and fauna, enhance the living environment, and build a green legacy for future generations.
