As well, though the bald Nose Hill sticks out like a sore thumb, there are relatively thick forests rolling through Fish Creek Prov Park - which cuts through the southern portion of the city...
And of course, Prince's Island to the Zoo is quite "green" as well.

Got to disagree with you on this one. After a million and one visits up to Edmonton, it dawned on me one day driving around just how many trees they had. The difference between Edmonton and Calgary is that many of Edmonton's roadways cut through actual forest, whereas all of Calgary's roadways have trees planted along them. To me there's no comparison.
