Alex Martin, University of British Columbia, Determining the efficacy of Arboriculture Education on the ethical treatment of wildlife during tree care operations. This research project involves the distribution of a survey to arborists to shed light on how arboriculture certifications, education, and commercial company / municipal operations may affect the decision-making process. The goals of this research are to determine the efficacy of current industry programs and which sectors could be improved to advance the ethical treatment of wildlife in arboriculture, and ultimate aid in the creation of a ‘best management practices” document.

Janina Kowalski, University of Toronto, Fruitful Beginnings: Urban Food Forests Across Canada. The objective of this grant is to address the gap in Urban Food Forest (UFF) knowledge. This project will ask: In Canadian cities, how do urban food forests impact communities, reflect diverse management and planning goals, and for whom are these landscapes being created? By examining different public urban food forests, case studies will allow close examination into three questions: 1) what is the function and diversity of UFF models and supporting organizations, 2) what are the ways that more-than-human relationships, such as wasps and bears, affect management of UFF, and 3) how does gender and other power dynamics shape the accessibility of UFF.

Julie Hinton Walker, Publisher and Artist from Toronto ON. The objective of this project is to raise awareness, at a school-age level, of the positive impact of trees and the importance their presence has in a healthful urban environment, with the creation of 2 age-appropriate activity books for elementary school students; the “Junior Arborist”, the “Senior Arborist”, and a placemat activity page for the “Kindergarten Arborist”. Through puzzles, word-finds, ‘fun-factoids’, ‘did-you-know’, and ‘log-on’ internet searches, we explore what trees do and the food, medicine, materials, and animal habitats they provide. The activity books and placemat compliment an existing workshop created by arborist Warren Hoselton (aka Professor Elwood Pricklethorn). The books are also designed so that they can be lead by a teacher without the benefit of a live P.E.P. presentation.

Dr. Shelley Hunt, University of Guelph Arboretum, ON. ElmTree Recovery Phase 2. The purpose of this project is to move forward with the second phase of the elm recovery work by augmenting existing seed orchard for DED-tolerant American elms at The Arboretum, University of Guelph. The initial screening program has identified 60 elm clones (out of 281 tested) that show exceptional promise in terms of DED tolerance. Several of these are represented in a preliminary seed orchard and are now ready to be added to the remaining exceptional clones. The objective in 2014 is to propagate (though grafting) several replicates of each of the remaining DED-tolerant clones for eventual planting into the seed orchard. This will strengthen the existing archive of this genetically diverse group of DED-tolerant elm clones and set the stage for the production of seed containing traits of these ‘super trees’.

To provide a better ecological understanding of the most commonly planted trees species in Ontario and isolate favourable conditions of some less common species.

Arborist Knot Testing – Phase 2, Humber Arboriculture Program Many arborists rely on the safety of knots in their rigging systems when lowering branches or blocks of wood to the ground. Although these knots are used as attachment or anchor points on a regular basis, we should know if the knots provide sufficient strength and also meet the CSA standard. Testing of them would allow arborists to better understand reactionary forces that are applied during this process. This proposal from the Humber College Arboriculture Program involves testing of rigging knots and termination knots, and the results will be passed on to the Arborist Safe Work Practices Committee to be considered for inclusion in the next reprint of the Arborist Safe Work Practice.
Tree Tenders Training Program, LEAF Already providing a successful training program for resident volunteers, LEAF (Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests) proposes to continue and improve delivery of this program, expanding from Toronto into York Region. Through further development of this model education program, replication in other communities will be possible. The Tree Tenders training course involves classroom instruction as well as outdoor, hands-on activities to provide citizens interested in improving the urban forest with basic arboricultural training (instructors are ISA certified arborists).
