The red oak (Quercus rubra) is definitely in my top five favourite trees (it’s a very competitive list). It stands out in my mind as one of the most majestic and stately trees; it has a presence.

Where is a Greek tree nymph when you need one? I expect they are well versed in the tree species of Crete, and I could certainly have used one this summer!

I took LEAF’s Tree Tenders Training Program in the fall of 2008. After that training, I became co-leader of the Don Valley Brick Works stewardship team with the City of Toronto’s Community Stewardship program in the spring of 2009. This mostly involves naturalizing the wetland with the removal of invasive species and planting native ones in order to re-attract native wildlife that has otherwise disappeared from the city.

I'm guilty of this, and I don't think I'm alone: from time to time, I have the (very) bad habit of walking through the streets of my neighbourhood looking down at my phone, not truly appreciating my surroundings. On August 16th, I was joined by a group of over 60 people in Markham to spend a few hours in the hot, hot heat exploring our canopy and all the tasty treats up above. We spent two hours looking upward and discovered all the wonderful edibles in the community!

Last week I happened upon my old notes from LEAF’s Tree Tenders Volunteer Training Program, which I took way back in 2009.

Take LEAF’s Tree Tenders Volunteer Training program this fall and discover a whole new way of looking at trees! You won’t able to walk down your street without spotting the native species, the giant white oak (or is it a bur oak?) around the corner from your house, or those newly planted trees in the park that would love a good mulching.

This past Saturday, a handful of curious Torontonians and fellow LEAF volunteers embarked on a very sunny tree identification tour at the Don Valley Brick Works. Led by LEAF arborist Brenna Anstett, the group learned all about what differentiates trees from one another by observing and interacting with the natural environment.
