Over 20 people turned up on a snowy Wednesday at lunchtime to learn about Heritage Trees from Edith George, a lover of trees and their stories. Though the heat was not working in the room, Edith’s words soon warmed up the LEAF staff, volunteers, and Tree Tenders graduates gathered there.

Last fall, I attended the Toronto Cancer Prevention Coalition’s symposium. What did I expect? Not what I received - which was enlightening.

I've spent the past few weeks working on a very exciting project – Maple Leaf Forever Design Competition and Exhibition. What’s that, you ask?

Trees have a deep rooted connection to our past. They carry with them a rich history that helps define us as a society today. One tree in particular, the majestic sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), is uniquely significant and is considered a living relic of our cultural history.

I wonder how many Torontonians know the Norway maple is not a native species and is actually considered invasive? As a brand new board member at LEAF, this is one of the interesting new facts I have learned about our urban forest. As a resident of Toronto and a member of the environmental non-profit community in my ‘day job’, I have a great appreciation for the work LEAF does in our city.

We are all familiar with the term “multi-purpose”, often used in conjunction with a product or item that can be used in multiple ways for many different outcomes. We are all guilty of trying to tackle more than one thing at once to try and save time and money. So if multiuse products are so great, why not plant a multiuse tree?
