Greening the Urban Landscape, Together!
Annual Workshop Highlights
VINELAND STATION, Ontario, May 28, 2025
Vineland was proud to host the Greening the Landscape Research Consortium—an innovative network driving collaborative urban forestry research and solutions across Ontario.
At our fourth Annual Member Workshop, we were thrilled to welcome many of our dedicated and inspiring members—representing municipalities, conservation agencies, nurseries, and the private sector—both in-person at Rittenhouse Hall and online.
The day was filled with lively discussion and meaningful exchange: from consortium case study updates and an oak wilt risk overview to breakout sessions exploring real-world invasive species challenges. We capped off the morning with the reveal of our new Tree Species Selector Tool, followed by an outdoor walk in the Millennium Forest to test it in action in the afternoon.
This workshop is just one example of the bold, applied research happening at Vineland to support greener, healthier urban landscapes. The Consortium will continue to foster collaboration, share practical tools, and drive forward innovative solutions for urban forestry challenges.
