Free forestry education resources
The City's forestry education program offers free informative and interactive online school resources. Learn about our Municipal Arborists and the role they plan in maintaining and increasing the City of Hamilton's Urban Forest
School Presentations
School presentations are designed to match the Grade 3 curriculum. Register your class to learn about:
- What is an Arborist
- Parts of a tree
- How to take care of trees
- Why trees are important
- Street Tree Planting Program
This free online presentation is interactive and engages the students with the use of visual material and educational handouts. The City of Hamilton will also donate a tree to your school (1 tree will be provided per school). Forestry staff will work with your school to determine the type of tree and where to plant it.
