A Toronto arborist believes the tree canopy in Ward 29 needs attention. In 2009, the city used remote sensing equipment to examine the condition of Toronto’s tree population. The resulting report, called "Every Tree Counts: A Portrait of Toronto’s Urban Forest" (updated in 2013), said Toronto is home to some 10.2 million trees. It also said the city needs to “increase and maintain a sustainable urban forest.” Forestry expert Steve Smith sees evidence of the problem in the Toronto-Danforth ward. “We’re in a part of this city that doesn’t have many trees,” he said. “We need to keep as many of them as we can.”
