“It is easier to land on Mars than it is to replace the amazing old trees that grace our neighbourhoods.”
– Kyle McLoughlin, Board certified master arborist
Trees, especially older trees anchor the natural ecosystem in ways that we are only beginning to understand. They provide invaluable aesthetic and human psychological benefits. And they link us to history.
Tree Trust’s core mission is to preserve mature trees through expert assessment,
specialized arborist care, and public outreach. Every mature tree does the work of at least 300 saplings, making their preservation crucial for environmental health. Tree Trust arborists are specially trained in the physiology and care of older trees, ensuring their longevity. Additionally,
Tree Trust is committed to educating the public on the importance of these trees, fostering a deeper understanding of their ecological role, and encouraging community involvement in conservation efforts.
