LEAF is an incorporated, not-for-profit organization dedicated to
the protection and improvement of Toronto’s urban forest. We offer
several programs and services for Toronto residents.
Our Backyard Tree Planting Program
offers native trees and shrubs to property owners at a subsidized cost.
Staff assist residents in making educated decisions about the type of
tree that suits their property and where it should be planted. Since
our first planting season in 1996, over 11,000 native trees and shrubs
have been planted in backyards throughout the City of Toronto.
Our Workshops and Training Sessions
cover a wide range of urban forest issues. Presentations, workshops and
volunteer training sessions can be customized to meet your group’s
needs.
We organize many Events that are open to the general public, such as plant sales and educational speakers.
We organize Tree Festivals
in partnership with neighbourhood and community groups. These
family-oriented events offer a fun-filled way to learn about and
celebrate our local urban forests. Music, food, story-tellers and local
artists are often part of these events.
We offer Tree Tours,
guided walks through your neighbourhood, for groups of 15 to 25 people.
Walks can incorporate tree identification, tree health, local history
and interesting tree stories.
