Guelph's Urban Forest
A healthy mix of trees and plants helps Guelph withstand and recover from severe weather caused by climate change. Our urban forest helps clean the air and keep us cool; it helps us save energy and prevent flooding. Spending time in natural spaces can also improve our physical and mental health.
Deciduous Trees of Guelph
Deciduous trees are those that lose all of their leaves for part of the year. The autumn season is alternately called "fall" precisely because it is during this season that the leaves fall from the deciduous trees.
Evergreen Trees of Guelph
Evergreen trees have foliage that remains green and functional through more than one growing season.
Tree Trust
Tree Trust preserves our biggest and best urban trees. We raise funds to hire arborists who keep the trees healthy and extend their lifespans through measures such as pruning, fertilizing and insect control. And because no tree lasts forever, we plant at least two saplings for every Tree Trust tree. Think of these saplings as understudies, growing into the role of the “elders.”
