SUMMARY:Caring for Trees Throughout their Life Cycle
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nLearn about some practical ways to care for trees at different stages of their life cycle: \nThe role of trees in our modern cities \n\nCritical infrastructure\nTree canopy\n\nBest practices for tree care \n\nEstablishing new trees\nJuvenile\nMature\nSenescence\n\nLocal Action \n\nGuelph Urban Forest Friends\nGuelph Tree Trust – caring for our legacy trees\n\nCaring for legacy trees: Guelph Urban Forest Friends & Guelph Tree Trust \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\nAdele Pierre\, Landscape Architect and ISA Certified Arborist \nLandscape architect and ISA arborist\, Adele Pierre leads an award winning design firm specializing in the creation of beautiful\, low maintenance landscapes. Mindful of the effects of climate change on our natural systems\, Adele incorporates native plantings in all projects to provide habitat for pollinators\, build healthy soils and manage rainwater. Along with her husband\, a musician and woodworker\, she enjoys country life on 2 acres in Haldimand County with a large vegetable garden\, laying hens\, honey bees and an extensive collection of native flowering shrubs and perennials to feed the bees. Their honey\, mead and honey beer are spectacular. \n\nto register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/caring-for-trees-throughout-their-life-cycle-tickets-687500431297?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl \n

SUMMARY:“Patterns in the Trees”: A permaculture approach to woody plants in Canada and the tropics
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of National Forest Week (September 17-23)\, many events are being held by Guelph-based organizations. \nThis is a free live-only event. \nTrees are vital for supporting life on earth and converting solar energy into biomass for human and animal use. In their natural state\, they self-organize into layers\, attracting wildlife and encoding information into patterns for intergenerational knowledge transmission. \nJoin us as Renaud Thomas\, an engineer agronomist and permaculture designer takes us through an exploration of the patterns of woody plants in Canada\, and some unique examples from Haiti. \nfor more information: arbor@uoguelph.ca
