Happy #InternationalDayofForests! This year’s theme is all about food and forests. As a recognized Tree City of the World, Hamilton’s urban forest is home to some amazing native trees and shrubs that can be a source of nuts and fruit. One standout is the mighty serviceberry! This tree is easy to spot with its smooth grey bark, oval or round leaves with fine teeth on the edges, clusters of white spring flowers, and small red berries that appear in early to mid-summer. Serviceberries can be found in Hamilton’s urban forest: parks, woodlands, and right-of-ways. They will also be available at the City’s Free Tree Giveaways this spring — a great chance to plant a serviceberry on your private property. ⚠️Remember to always use caution when foraging and be sure to reference a reliable plant guide for identification.
