Two years ago I found myself in the middle of a very stressful and very expensive legal case involving a tree in my backyard.

This week I connected with Sandy Smith, professor in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto, about what she would consider a Great Tree of Toronto. With no hesitation, Dr. Smith chose a hidden giant of Harbord Village , a Bur Oak.

I’m so excited to be back working at LEAF! It’s amazing to see how it has expanded over the past five years. You know a good organization by its ability to have long-term committed volunteers and staff, and LEAF has many. I’ve already seen familiar faces having been back only three weeks.

One of the first natural areas I visited when I started working with the City of Toronto 16 years ago was Glendon Forest. For many years, in my capacity as a Natural Environment Specialist with Parks, Forestry and Recreation, I planned and implemented ecological restoration projects in Toronto's Upper Don Watershed.

On May 2nd I had a huge treat: LEAF asked me to co-lead a Jane’s Walk to launch the Great Toronto Tree Hunt. When Janet McKay and I led a large crowd of keen tree-hunters through East York’s “Golden Triangle” neighbourhood, we found the treasures included people as well as trees.

Growing up in the concrete jungle that is Toronto, I realize just how lucky we are to have such a vast urban forest. When wandering through the vast system of ravines, you really start to forget that you’re in the middle of Canada’s largest city. We are lucky, both within and just outside of Toronto, to have a wonderful natural environment, one that we must preserve.
