the Island: Toronto Island Tree Tour

if you live in Toronto or are visiting, this is an interesting, fun, and different way to get to know the Island.  Our wonderful Toronto Island Park supervisor organized a map showing the what and where of 57 different tree varieties on the Island.  Each tree is labelled with its common and Latin name, family and origin.
