Climate Change and Trees

October 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Leaside Garden Society Speaker Series

Have you ever wondered how the tree canopy we in Leaside are so proud of is being affected by climate change? What the trees will look like in 20 years’ time? October’s talk will answer these questions, and provide us with some tips about preparing for the inevitable.

Our speaker, Stephen Smith, is a certified arborist and the owner of Urban Forest Associates, a small company based in Leaside. He works with homeowners, businesses and municipalities to manage individual trees, forest and natural gardens and to protect trees in construction projects. He has been a member of the Task Force to Bring Back the Don since 1991, works with the Forest Gene Conservation Association of Ontario, and is a founder of the Society for Ecological Restoration, Ontario Chapter.  He is the author of the invasive plant list used in Ontario. He was raised in Toronto, so he has been watching Toronto trees since he was young.
