Welcome to Canadian Tree Tours!

Canadian Tree Tours was founded in February 2011 as a way to raise awareness of the importance of trees and tree stewardship in urban environments. We hope to promote healthy lifestyles and a lifelong enjoyment of green spaces.

Whether you walk, roll, bike, blade, or ski…

…this site offers free, self-guided tree tours of parks and city scapes in major Canadian centers (currently our tree tour focuses on Toronto Island, we will be adding more tours shortly). Your tree tour will help you learn more about trees, plus provide a fun and inspiring reason for you to get outdoors and enjoy your city, in all seasons.

Tree Tours are all located on easily accessible public transit routes. Distance and approximate tour duration times (on foot) are also provided.

TO TAKE A TREE TOUR:

1. Choose your tour.

2. View tour from your smartphone, ipad, handheld GPS, or simply print out a paper copy of the tour map and take it with you

3. Go to any tree on the tour to begin your tour.

4. Let your tour begin! Tree identification tips and interesting facts, global positioning details, and permanent tree markers will help you find trees along the tour.

Canadian Tree Tours are accessible year-round to everyone, are FREE entertainment in a city near you, and are a useful educational tool for arborists, school groups, tourists, cyclists, hikers or families out for a Sunday stroll.

Enjoy.
