Develop your tree ID skills on a guided walk through Dorset Park. Learn about the importance of native species and how to identify them. At the end of the tour, take home a free native shrub (while supplies last)!
These tours will be led by a group of youth who have been learning about the urban forest through our Young Urban Forest Leaders (YUFL) program! The YUFL program is a free training and mentorship program that seeks to support Toronto youth from historically excluded groups within arboriculture and urban forestry including (but not limited to) women, non-binary people, Indigenous peoples, newcomers, 2SLGBTQ+ persons and racialized individuals.
