London, Ontario has long been calling itself the Forest City. In this, the first episode of the podcast, we ask if the city is deserving of that name.

Our guest speakers share their thoughts to help answer this question. They examine the history of London’s forests and how invasive plants, insect species, and climate change are impacting London’s trees. Molly also learns tips to help the City of London reach the goal of 34% tree canopy cover by 2065.

Guests include: Emma Young and Brandon Graham from the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation’s Treaty, Lands and Environment team; Brandon Williamson, Land Management Technician at the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority; and Jill-Anne Spence, Manager of Urban Forestry for the City of London.
