You are welcome to participate in this webinar to learn about the Long Branch Tree Inventory Project and the different Native Tree Species being given away for free to increase the Biodiversity of our Urban Forest.
Following a short presentation on the trees you will have an opportunity to get any questions you have about your tree selection answered.
Coming up next month, we will once again be giving away free trees to Long Branch residents.
Watch this spot for an update. We’re planning to enable you to order your free tree through our website to make it more convenient for you.
We launched our Neighbourwoods© project in Long Branch in the summer of 2018, and hired three students for the summer to be trained by and to work with Dr. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic, a professor in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto.
In 2019, we decided to expand the project and hired six students.
This summer, we have hired six more summer interns to work not only on the Neighbourwoods Tree Inventory, but also to work on programs related to tree stewardship.
Building on the data we gathered in 2018 and 2019 Dr. Puric-Mladenovic is also working on measuring the overall changes in tree canopy to provide us with feedback on whether our tree canopy is declining, increasing or just staying the same.
Our goal is to have trees covering 40% of Long Branch.
Our teams of students will come to your property and ask permission to enter your yard and conduct their inventory. Among other things, they will:
If you are interested in participating in our tree inventory project and having the tree data on your property added to our database, you can just email us with your name, address and phone number so we can arrange for one of our teams of students to come around.
Attention all gardening enthusiasts! Saturday June 22 is the date for the 2019 Long Branch Garden Tour. Mark your calendars.

Our webmaster was away on vacation, so our page where we have assembled the City’s testing results of the water at the Marie Curtis beaches with daily rainfall statistics from Environment Canada was not being updated daily as we planned.
We have now updated the page. Check it out.
We wanted to have something that would be more predictive than the City’s postings, which is why we added rainfall data. A good rule of thumb is that if we receive more than 10mm of rain, the beaches will be unsafe for the next one or two days.
We hope you find this helpful and we invite your comments and feedback.
