We Care Tree Care is a Toronto based tree care and woodworking company. We remove, and prune trees in a safe and efficient environment exactly as requested. But instead of shredding the beautiful lumber, we turn it into stunning furniture, bowls, and pretty much anything else.

The first tree that was planted was a mulberry tree that we were removing for the Ward's Island Association's bowling green. 8 or so small children came to protest the removal of this tree because they loved picking the berries. I promised the crying children I would transplant the tree to the wet meadow.

Since then, the mulberrry tree has grown well and has produced 1000's of berries for the community, the wildlife and island visitors. Everyone is welcome to enjoy! That mulberry tree was such an inspiration that we have planted an entire orchard of native, non-invasive fruit and nut trees and shrubs.

In the future, I want to plant more large nut trees and keep planting interesting fruit trees. If you're interested in helping out, that would be great. Time and/or donations are always appreciated. A fruit tree costs as little as $10 and I've had volunteers as young as 7.

We Care Tree Care is a small company based in Toronto, Ontario. We focus mainly on tree care, but offer custom chainsaw milling, salvaged wood products such as bowls, and custom furniture. We have a deep passion for trees and what can be made from them. Our products are from trees that have already been cut down for a different reason.

Our base of operations is on the Toronto Islands where we carefully watch how the trees we work on fare to our pruning over the years. We are very serious about proper tree care. From removing a 100 foot poplar tree to root pruning a 10 inch elm bonsai, we strive to treat the trees with the utmost respect.
