Some of Toronto’s oldest and best examples of native trees live in beautiful Queen’s Park, sandwiched between two three-lane roads, rumbling with the vibrations of a subway line below, and nestled within the Provincial Legislature and U of T’s downtown campus. The Department of Geography and Program in Planning partners up with LEAF for this excursion into an urban oasis. Co-led by LEAF Executive Director Janet McKay. The walking difficulty of this tour is low: a mix of pavement and grass, and minimal slope.
