Junction Tree Tour tomorrow
By Dale Duncan // No Comments
WHAT: Junction Tree Tour
WHEN: September 7th, 11am to 1pm
WHERE: Meet at the northwest corner of Keele St. and Dundas St. West
HOW MUCH: Suggested donation $5
As centennial celebrations culminate during the Junction Arts Festival, join LEAF arborist Todd Irvine as he explores the neighbourhood to uncover both historic and newly planted native trees. From back streets to grand boulevards, the Junction is home to a diverse array of trees including the rare black oak often associated with High Park. Wander down a hidden alley to discover a honey-locust with a vigorous, arching canopy that is 60 feet wide. Peek into backyards or turn your gaze skyward to admire the massive canopies of white, red and pin oaks as well as the delicate boughs of black walnuts. This tour will also feature the personal story of one resident who has turned her front yard into a “monarch feeding station†by packing it full of native trees, shrubs and prairie plants.
