Trees Count


The benefits of trees go up exponentially as their size and total leaf area increases.
  



With over 80% of the Don watershed developed, the largest living element of the natural environment on tableland is the urban forest.

In 2002, with extensive support from the Toronto Atmospheric Fund, FODE conducted a pilot study on the urban forest, inventorying the species composition and health of the urban canopy in four neighbourhoods.

During 2004 FODE will be developing strategies to further protect and expand the urban canopy. In the meantime, we recommend that members and others contact LEAF, to purchase native trees to expand backyard forest.
