LEAF is partnering with Heritage Toronto to bring back the Beaches Tree Tour. With its park-like setting, cool lake breezes and eclectic blend of iconic historic buildings, estate homes and quaint cottages, the Beaches remains true to its origins as a mecca for summer visitors. Join LEAF arborist Todd Irvine as we meander the tree-lined streets under the protective, spreading canopies of red and white oaks. Experience the varied topography of the Beaches as we venture north from Kew
Gardens to the crest of the natural ridge and then wander back down into the magnificent Glen Stewart ravine. Discover yellow birch, black cherry and ironwood in this remnant forest and learn about the City Forestry Department's vital restoration efforts.

Meet at: Beaches Library, Kew Gardens, 2161 Queen St. East. | Map
