WHAT: Beaches Tree Tour
WHEN: September 14, 1 pm - 3 pm
WHERE: Meet at the front entrance of the Beaches Library, Kew Gardens (2161 Queen St. East)

With its park-like setting, cool lake breezes and eclectic blend of iconic buildings, estate homes and quaint cottages, the Beaches remains true to its origins as a mecca for summer visitors. Join Tree Tour Coordinator Susan Gulley and local historian Gene Domagala as they meander the tree-lined streets under the protective, spreading canopies of red and white oaks. Experience the varied topography of the Beaches as we venture north from Kew Gardens to the crest of the natural ridge and then wander back down into the magnificent Glen Stewart ravine. Discover yellow birch, black cherry and ironwood in this remnant forest and learn about the City's vital restoration efforts from Urban Forest Planner Ruthanne Henry.

You must RSVP to attend this event, and there is a suggested donation of $5.
