Come join us for this free, fun and educational event exploring the beautiful street trees of Summerhill on Lost Mashquoteh Creek. June is a wonderful time to stroll or roll the tree-lined streets of the Summerhill neighbourhood.This walk will give you the opportunity to learn about the different types of trees in the area and their importance to the local ecosystem. We will walk over the brow of the Lake Iroquois escarpment, taking in the landscape and urban forest along the course of lost Mashquoteh Creek. This is perhaps the least remembered, but one of the most dramatic, of the downtown buried watercourses.
We’ll make a linear walk from Glen Gould Park at St. Clair and Avenue Road to Summerhill Station on Yonge Street
Our course will comprise residential streets with sidewalks, and it will include a healthy dose of tree identification and appreciation along with local history
Saturday June 22; 2:00pm-4:00pm
Start: Glen Gould Park; n/w corner of Avenue Road and St Clair Ave
Walk leaders: John Wilson (Lost Rivers) and Stephen Smith (Urban Forestry Associates)
The walk is accessible to all, although washrooms are in short supply only in businesses near the end.
