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.

When we talk about a forest, urban or otherwise, we tend to focus on the trees. They make up much of the biomass and productivity of a forest, and they capture our attention, affection and imagination.
