WHAT IS “TREES for TORONTO”?
“Trees for Toronto” was launched by the Royal Ontario Museum and the City of Toronto in connection with the expansion of the Museum in 2007. The purpose of “Trees for Toronto” is to plant trees in Queen’s Park and to create a tree identification and awareness program for Toronto.
As part of the “Trees for Toronto” program,
- Trees native to Ontario have been planted throughout Queen’s Park
- Interpretive signs and tree identification plaques have been installed in the Park
- This “Trees for Toronto” website has been developed to supplement the program
