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 also 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, but 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.
