Trees Across Toronto

May 1st has been proclaimed as Trees Across Toronto Day by Mayor David Miller, in an effort to sustain Toronto's urban forest. There will be tree planting events at parks across the city, and Torontonians are urged to get out there, buy some trees and go planting. It's a great effort, but I'm not sure how much success will be achieved tomorrow. It's going to rain most of the day, and that will probably keep most people indoors. The whole event seems to rely on the public mostly as well -- the government doesn't seem to be backing it with much money. Yeah, I know it's our city -- but it's also our tax dollars that are funding the city.
