Robert Home Smith, the original developer of the Kingsway, would have smiled. Here was a large crowd walking, looking up, talking about and revering the oak trees that he had saved and protected, despite development, throughout the first part of the twentieth century.

There’s no denying it – cities are better with trees. They clean our air, give us shade, offer privacy and buffer noise. They improve our quality of life and even increase our property values. But our trees have been under attack recently. Between insect invaders like Emerald Ash Borer and recent damage caused by the ice-storm, our urban trees are desperately in need of help.

In a windy storm last summer, Toronto saw the symbolic Maple Leaf Forever Tree fall to the street. So how can we ensure that the Maple Leaf lives forever?
