​About Tree Trust
Supporting local legacy trees
Tree Trust, a program of the Elora Environment Centre, is a foundational program established in June 2019 after seeing a growing need to preserve the mature trees that offer a tremendous environmental value to both our community and the world at large. Our mission is to help preserve important legacy trees in communities across Southern Ontario. Our mandate is to hire professional, certified arborists to practice their craft by reducing a tree’s crown, removing deadwood, retrenching where needed and more – all of which effectively extend the life of a legacy tree.
In two years we have built the Tree Trust program to include seven community partners: Centre Wellington, Stratford-Perth, Meaford, Toronto Island, Town of The Blue Mountains, Waterloo Region and Guelph. Each community partner manages their own local Tree Trust Chapter supported by Tree Trust headquarters based in Elora, Ontario. Here’s a bit of what we’ve done in the past:
A program of the Elora Environment CentreFounded in 1993, our mission has been to identify, field test and deliver environmental programs at the community level, and to promote sustainability through public education and program activities. Our vision is that all communities and citizens adopt sustainable approaches to how they live and utilize resources such as energy, water and materials, and commit to environmental stewardship as a way of life. Our programs over the years have included:
  • 40,000 Residential Energy Efficiency home visits which provided residents with $10 million in Federal grants and saving 25 thousand tonnes of CO2 annually
  • Well Aware Program that helped rural landowners ensure their well water was safe
  • Rain Garden Program
  • Bicycle courier business pilot
  • Small commercial audits in Wellington, Grey, and Bruce Counties to help cut electrical use for small business owners
  • A Green Hotline which produced a comprehensive Community Energy Plan for Centre Wellington
  • Home Electrical ‘Audit’ Program pilot to identify opportunities to cut electricity use
  • Tree Inventory Program with an expanding database of 12,000 trees and more than 300 volunteers and 20 summer students
  • Citizen Pruner Pilot Program which taught community members how to prune dozens of young public and schoolyard trees under the guidance of certified arborists
  • Regular community tree talks and walks

Grenadier Square Redevelopment Tree Repurposing Portfolio
Overview The Grenadier Square Redevelopment project at 40 High Park Ave includes a landscape re-design, with the removal and replanting of trees. Instead of the wood going to waste in a dump, we partnered with GWL Realty Advisors Inc. to repurpose these trees. This portfolio shows the numerous community organizations we reached out to and the salvaged wood products that were provided to them. We started by taking inventory of all the trees that were to be removed. After having a look at the types of woods available, we were able to determine the best uses. Next, before all the trees were taken down, we contacted many local community gardens, children’s gardens and various schools around the GTA. For many months, we worked with the different donatees to figure out what they need and which wood works best for them. Once the trees were ready to be cut down, we made sure to be on-site to ensure that the measurements were met and the trees were taken down properly for the wood to be most useful. We then collected all of the wood in 40 yard bins and brought it to our facility where we started to process the wood and began to deliver and install the products. Our company is dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint. We recognize that we have an impact on the environment and have therefore taken extra measures to ensure that we are doing everything we can to be ecofriendly. Most of the bench work was done using battery powered chainsaws, which we powered using our solar panel charged battery bank. Additionally, we use vegetable based, biodegradable lubricant as chainsaw oil. Benches being crafted with battery-powered chainsaws.

We Care Tree Care and the team of experts are always professional and pleasant. Their passion for trees and nature definitely translates into the quality of work. On top of that, they are on alert to save any animals and other greenery around the removal sites. I would recommend this company to anyone. Their work equipment is environmentally friendly and suitable to fit in tight alleyways downtown Toronto. The title of the business was definitely well named!

Picked up some gorgeous slabs from Tyler to finish ourselves into a bar, end tables, and entry way console table - they all turned out beautifully. We get so many compliments and questions about them (primarily "where did we get the wood from!?"). The pieces are perfect for what we wanted and look fantastic in our home. We will never get bored of the character in the wood and wish we had more space to keep filling up. We highly recommend Tyler for his quality, service, and value.

We purchased two live edge slabs from Tyler after a few visits to his shop. He is incredibly well stocked with beautiful pieces and helped us find the perfect slabs for our needs (and we were VERY particular). We were certainly not starved for choice and would fall in love with a piece only to stumble across something even better. The quality is fantastic and the wood is flawless. Tyler was knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. His prices were great and we are thrilled by everything about the experience. When we are finished with our current two projects we will certainly be going back for more. We highly recommend Tyler and We Care Tree Care.

Tyler is a very special person. He's not just technically expert, but also cares deeply about our natural world and trees in particular. He wants to find the best approach to each tree that maximizes its wellbeing and lifespan. He also shares his knowledge and helps the customer understand what's going on with the tree and how to monitor it yourself to detect things that might be going wrong. I would recommend We Care Tree Care to anyone.

When it comes to trees Tyler is as good as it gets! Very experienced. Cares deeply about the trees, the environment, & people. Leaves a clean site & finds good uses for the wood. He creates beautiful artwork from some of it, from benches to dugout canoes. He is very generous in supporting communities.
Highly recommended.

Tyler and his team were an incredible help with a plant order. I knew I was asking more than I should when I'd requested 'a uniquely shaped Malus' for a client. The tree delivered by Tyler was healthy and already had a definitive shape - the perfect fit for a burgeoning garden. From start to finish the process was professional, prompt, and a pleasure to deal with. Will use again.

Tyler gave a free quote, great service, and took down a large tree for my mom at a very fair price given her limited finances. Furthermore he was able to accommodate my moms garden while taking a large poplar down and not kill any of her plants!

Tyler Ganton and We Care Tree Care are responsible arborists and environmentalists. They have taken good care of our 60' tall poplars over the years, trimming them when needed to keep them healthy, and watching out for overhanging branches and rot. During the Covid-19 shutdown, they have provided an additional service of sourcing and delivering shrubs in time for spring planting. Their service and care is much appreciated.

I heard about Tyler through Toronto Urban Growers, and we needed some stumps in our community garden for the kids play area. Tyler dropped off about 2 dozen, no charge! It’s perfect for us, and the wood didn’t go to waste.

The team turned up on time, dealt with the immediate problem of wasp nests, cleaned the site thoroughly – and then took the trouble to warn me that the tree itself was falling apart. Tyler Ganton sent numerous photos to show the city. We were incredibly pleased.

Tyler (and Emma) did a spectacular job of selecting, picking up and delivering my plants, and everyone else's too. It was delightful to find my order sitting on my porch exactly when I expected it. What a service!
Linda Barnett
Tyler has always done a terrific job for us, be it tree removal, tree pruning or firewood delivery. He always does what he says, keeps to the original very reasonable quote and cleans everything up afterwards. I'm so glad he's here to offer us his services!

These guys do amazing work- Tyler and his team have a real passion for trees and wood, they are focused on conservation and recycling, they do things that seem impossible! Nice to know That problem tree they remove will likely be turned into beautiful benches, tables, etc- they even did a big job for charity! Highly recommended.

My husband and I have used Tyler Gantons tree services for about ten years now. He comes when he says he will, he knows what he is doing and really cares about doing the job right. He is 5 stars in our book.

I trust Tyler and his work. He knows his stuff and does an excellent job.

Tyler recently helped me plan and construct a floating wooden sculpture for a public art project on Toronto Islands. All the wood was sourced and milled on the islands by Tyler, reflecting his ambition to work in a sustainable and environmentally-sensitive way. He works with great care, has an immense amount of knowledge and skill, and "goes the extra mile" to get the job done on time and on budget. I totally recommend Tyler, and the service that he provides, and look forward to working with him again.
