Escape the heat of the city with writer Bronwyn Chester. The Montreal journalist will lead "A Leafy Legacy," a tour of the grand old trees of McGill. Shade-seekers will learn the history of the verdant landscape that makes the campus an oasis of green amid the bustle of downtown.
Escape the heat of the city with writer Bronwyn Chester. The Montreal journalist will lead "A Leafy Legacy," a tour of the grand old trees of McGill. Shade-seekers will learn the history of the verdant landscape that makes the campus an oasis of green amid the bustle of downtown.
From the gnarled gingko on upper Peel Street to the stately maple of lower campus, Chester's tour of the trees of McGill will provide a charming story for amateur arborists, historians, photographers, or anyone looking for a summer nature walk.
The story of McGill's trees extends back into the 19th century. The two-hour tour will provide details of the elms and crabapples that originally helped to create an on-campus sanctuary. It will also recount the stories of the people who have helped protect the trees over the years, and who have sustained them since the devastation of the ice storm.
