On Tuesday, we’re hosting a Tree Care 101 workshop, along with Toronto and Region Conservation. Want to learn more about how to take care of trees? Join LEAF’s Mark Sherman, certified arborist and tree climber, learn about the proper care and maintenance of young trees. Topics will include tree selection and planting, as well as how to properly water, mulch, and protect your trees. Mark will even take the group on an outdoor walk to showcase real-life tree care. Gain the knowledge to help give trees a good start, enabling them to survive to a ripe old age! 6pm at the Scarborough Civic Centre.
On Friday, Vicki, our amazing Volunteer & Stewardship Coordinator, will be doing a presentation for the International Society of Arboriculture Ontario Chapter on our work on Emerald Ash Borer. If you’re a member of ISAO, join us in Kingston on Saturday!
On Saturday, we’ll be leading our popular Bain Coop Tree Tour as part of the Co-op’s centennial celebration. Led by LEAF’s Mark Sherman and Helen Mills of Lost Rivers, join us to explore the trees in this urban oasis! We’ll also have an information table at the event, so come visit us there!
Dedicated EAB Ambassador Jane Clark will be hosting an information table at the Roncesvalles Polish Festival on Sunday. It's North America's largest celebration of Polish culture, with music, dancing, and tasty food - visit her there to learn about the work she's been doing talking to her neighbours about EAB!
We’ll finish up the weekend with Sunday at the Ward 27 Community Environment Day, hosted by Councillor Wong-Tam at Allan Gardens. Community Environment Days are a time for local residents to get free compost, recycle or dispose of unwanted items, and learn about environmental organizations like LEAF! Plus, Allan Gardens is a lovely spot to spend the day.
