Last Wednesday, LEAF led a tree tour to celebrate the Adopt-a-Street Tree project on the Danforth. Community members, City representatives, and LEAF staff and volunteers came out to find out more about the Danforth trees, and how they can care for them. By the evening’s end, not only had everyone learned more about their neighbourhood trees, but several new adopters had also joined the project! We’re excited for the prospects of these trees, with such a caring community to look after them.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: we wouldn’t be where we are today, or be able to do all that we do, without our amazing volunteers and supporters! As LEAF celebrated its 20th birthday, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to thank the many people who make LEAF great by hosting a summer party in our Learning Garden.

This spring, I had the honour of meeting Jacqui, a two-time LEAF tree owner. Both of Jacqui’s trees have such sentimental meaning that I wanted to share her story with you!

Did you know skin cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer? Despite this, rates of skin cancer are increasing in Canada. The biggest risk factor for developing skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, and everyone, regardless of skin type, is at risk. There is a simple action we can take to reduce our risk.

What is the first thing you notice when you look at a tree? For me, it’s their strong trunks that extend into branches, from which beautiful canopies emerge. Aside from admiring their beauty and receiving their benefits, I realized I didn’t really know much about trees.

Trees have always made me feel blissful and loved. I want others to experience those feelings and develop an appreciation for everything they do for us!
