| Introduction | The TreesPlease is a volunteer-driven community-based initiative of the Annex Residents' Association (ARA) Parks and Trees Committee and is endorsed by the Bloor Annex BIA. The Annex is a densely-populated neighbourhood of 15,602 (2006) residents who live in the area from Bathurst Street to the west, to the north side of Dupont Street, along Avenue Road to the east and Bloor Street West to the south. TreesPlease was established in the Fall of 2010, with growing awareness in the community that the neighbourhood had lost and was continuing to lose much of its tree canopy. Many of these trees had been planted well on a century ago, and are coming to the end of their lifespan. To enhance the health, environmental and energy benefits of the tree canopy, TreesPlease undertook a four-year (2011-2014) survey of the neighbourhood’s entire tree canopy coverage, as a basis for planning and encouraging tree canopy health and diversity. |
