The public has until March 6to pick theirbird of choice from a list of 10 for Hamilton and Burlington. The poll is part of a campaign to help get a Bird Friendly Cities designation.

A landscape architect and environmental artist from Hamilton walks the streets of Hamilton two days a week documenting the oldest trees in the city. They have to be at least 150 years old to make the list. It's part of a project funded by the Canada Council for the Arts.

New Hamilton project, Depave Paradise, aims to replace parking lots, concrete and asphalt with gardens and trees.
