Our volunteers, Kayley and Nicholas, also did a demo of how we collect over 30 measurements and pieces of data per tree!
Finally, Certified Arborist and HNC member, Kyle, led us on a tour of Churchill Park and surrounding area. We talked about the importance of urban forest diversity and native species, looked at some non-native oaks in the Park, and then we went to visit our favourite Treescount white oak!

When 20 people stand around oohing and awing at a tree, it attracts a little attention, especially from the Homeowners! However, this tree's lovely owners were delighted to see us and they invited us to take a closer look. We had a lovely chat about the history of the tree and they showed us a photo of the tree in 1925, already looking very large, when the house was originally built! More on this great tree story is coming soon!

Our urban forest inventory should be wrapping up in a few weeks! Stay tuned for the results!
