The Honour Roll of Burlington Trees
As part of its effort to mark Canada's centenary in 1967 in a lasting way, the Ontario Forestry Association inaugurated a program to establish a listing of the large reported specimens of living trees growing anywhere in the Province of Ontario. The program in Burlington, with similar objectives, has brought into focus over 110 fine specimens of trees since inauguration in 1975.
To nominate a tree contact the City Forester at City Hall or send an e-mail .
