We will talk about the dam removal that paved the way in 2009; community collaboration and engagement; past and ongoing restoration activities to improve connectivity and manage invasive species; and adaptive management strategies.
This conversation and guided tour is free and open to everyone, though donations are gratefully accepted online at https://ignatiusguelph.ca/donate/ or on-site through the donation boxes.

This new forest will help clean our air and water, and become a home for nesting birds and other animals. When the forest becomes mature, it will sequester approximately 6,000 tons of carbon every year. The trees we plant will benefit generations to come – including the sugar maples that can be tapped and enjoyed b

Caring for Trees Throughout their Life Cycle
2023-09-12 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | ON
Planting trees is important, but so is looking after our existing urban forest. Just like people, trees at various stages of life have different needs. Depending on their age there are many different things we can do to help our trees thrive.
The City of Guelph’s urban forest is made up of trees from streets, parks and natural areas most of which grow on private land. Private land also offers the greatest opportunity to plant more trees to grow the city’s tree canopy.
The importance of a healthy urban forest has never been more evident than with the growing occurrences of wildfires and flooded basements due to climate change. Trees in our cities help to improve air quality, reduce flooding, keep our cities cool, provide essential habitat and food sources for many types of wildlife and contribute to making our neighbourhoods great places to live. As much as trees help us to adapt to climate change, they are equally dependent upon us to ensure that they can grow and thrive.
Learn about some practical ways to care for trees at different stages of their life cycle:
