Ontario Urban Forest Council Annual Conference


November 04, 2010 to November 05, 2010


At this conference we will explore the many ways through which our urban forests contribute to our social, psychological and physical health, for individuals and their communities. It has been common knowledge for years that trees provide an important service namely, the conversion of CO2 to oxygen. However, we are just beginning to realize other valuable offerings of our urban forests.

As we assess the value of trees to our communities it is imperative that we include all aspects of the “return” that healthy urban forests provide. Healthier children, skin cancer prevention, lower rates of violence are just some of the researched benefits of healthy urban forests. This conference explores and expands our understanding of how healthy urban forests benefit our communities.

Time: Evening Thurs. Nov. 4, Full Day Fri. Nov. 5, 2010
Venue: Sheraton Four Points Hotel
Location: 3530 Schmon Parkway Thorold, ON
