No memorial tree for me. I'll put that in my will. Nothing sadder than a neglected memorial tree. This is Wellesley Pk but its common in every park . TREES TO PLEASE 311 Toronto City of Toronto PFR please ask staff to cut these girdling bags off & open bag .Urban Forest Crimes Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦

Thank you. I hope you have better success than I do . I don’t think a single “complaint” I’ve made this year has been acted on. Happy to be wrong about that. I know TREES TO PLEASE is stretched but it is about the trees isn’t it? Urban Forest Crimes Ontario Urban Forest Council LEAF Oakvillegreen

Hey Friends of Monarch Park . Who is volcano mulching your trees? Volcano mulching kills trees and is a bad example for the neighbourhood . You might be stuck with the planting you get but mulching can be remedied. Paula Fletcher City of Toronto PFR Urban Forest Crimes Ontario Urban Forest Council Park People / Ami·es des parcs

Anne Howatt Friends of Monarch Park Paula Fletcher City of Toronto PFR Urban Forest Crimes Ontario Urban Forest Council Park People / Ami·es des parcs wonder if they realize THIS will be the end result?

❤️ the functionality improvement of this minimalist bench. A sensible way to improve the seating situation (with shade) in urban hardscapes and protect the trunk from wounding.

It’s our 5 year #Twitterversary! For all those that ❤️ and care for our #urbanforest - enjoy this ancient yellow birch 🌳!

Sadly this Christmas tree comes with its own soil stand. Hoping it disappears after the holidays. But Not likely. Volcano mulching kills trees.

This is what happens when lights are left on trees. Does Toronto Association of BIAs (TABIA) remind their BIA'S to remove lights? Do community assoc'n's ? CORRA TORONTO ?

Condo trees have the worst luck . Token greening done by incompetents. Construction grade soil. Indifferent mgmt and boards who don't realize that trees aren't annuals. Lost opportunities. Why doesn't TREES TO PLEASE care ? Urban Forest Crimes Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association Condominium Authority of Ontario ACMO 3/3

Condo developers are among the worst re tree planting & maint. on the property, & the street allowance)-which I believe the city assumes > 2 yrs. I wave at the security cameras & cut girdling ties. What a waste. Good intentions maybe . Poor results definitely. Urban Forest Crimes `

Please don’t use strimmers or weed whackers near trees. Mulch would be better at weed suppression & much cheaper than replacing the tree. Trees Of Edinburgh

Andrew Heald #shamelessplug 63% of surveyed trees in our study showed damage resulting from trimmers doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug… Mulch and training of lawncare staff are critical for protecting these trees

Walking has been a lifesaver over the past 18 months. But if you care about trees it's a sad reality check on the state of the UF. Last nights walk : 1)Many building sites-but not a single TPZ 2) High correlation between new builds & dead/dying trees. Brad Bradford 311 Toronto

EVERY day I take pics of street #trees struggling to live, planted in terrible growing conditions. Stop with the tree planting strategies w/# of trees to be planted & nothing about their growing conditions & lifelong care! A #ClimateCrisis smokescreen

More dead trees… but a lively street pattern #Yorkville #Toronto
