The Value of Trees
Since humans have walked the earth, trees have given us two of life’s essentials: food and oxygen. The Value of Trees presentation discusses the social, environmental and economic benefits of trees, and why they are important to future generations.
Native Trees for Your Yard
Native trees are vital to the health of London’s ecosystems. Native species are easier to maintain, provide habitat for wildlife and help maintain local biodiversity. This presentation discusses the importance of planting native trees in your yard and across London.
The Emerald Ash Borer
This invasive species is extremely disruptive and harmful to London’s ash trees if not properly handled and taken care of. The Emerald Ash Borer has devastated ash trees across Southwestern Ontario and the U.S. and currently pose significant threat to about 700,000 ash trees. This presentation provides information on the invasive species itself and how you can protect your trees from it.
Climate Change & Trees
As climate change continues to have economic, social and environmental impacts, it is vital that we understand the role trees play in tackling climate change. This presentation highlights how trees store carbon dioxide, release oxygen, filtrate and clean water, and more.
About ReForest London & London’s Million Tree Challenge
How do we create a healthy urban forest in London? This presentation details the environmental work ReForest London does, who RFL is, its goals for London’s future, and its partnership in the Million Tree Challenge.
