All of the 860,000 ash trees in Toronto (an estimated 8.4% of our canopy cover) are at risk of dying due to Emerald Ash Borer. We must act now to defend our urban forest through treatment and replanting!

Help us spread the word by becoming an EAB Ambassador. It’s easy and we help you every step of the way! Learn how to identify ash trees and the signs of EAB.  Learn about free and subsidized planting programs and how to best share this information with others. Participate in our neighbourhood canvasing efforts in partnership with the Highland Green Team and Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA).

EAB Ambassadors will have the opportunity to join LEAF and the Highland Green Team for organized door-to-door outreach efforts in the West Hill and Eglinton East neighbourhoods as part of the Highland Creek Urban Forest Project.  Learn more about the Highland Green Team here.

Because we are partnering with the TRCA for this event, we will be sharing registration information with this organization.

Attendees will receive a resource kit.

Transit: TTC - SRT to Scarborough Centre Station.
Accessibility: Building entrance, meeting room and washrooms are fully accessible.

Join us for the annual Leslieville Tree Festival in Leslie Grove Park (intersection of Queen St East and Jones Ave, Toronto). Now in its eighth year, this fun-filled celebration of our urban forest offers activities for the whole family including over 40 environmental organizations and eco-vendors, exciting live performances, native plant sale, children’s activities, a ceremonial tree planting, local food and more!  If you are an organization or vendor that would like to reserve a table, click here.

The Leslieville Tree Festival is presented by LEAF, Councillor Paula Fletcher, Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation and Toronto Hydro.
