As of August 15th, 2009 we have over 20 nominations submitted! The Cactus Festival was a success for the DVTK and a big thank you to those who came out in support of the Heritage Tree Hunt. We had a lot of interest from the public despite the mid-afternoon scorching heat. We extend our gratitude to the Kastrau Nursery for their generous donation of TWO serviceberry trees. Congratulations to Ron Grant of Dundas, a lucky recipient of our raffle grand prize. We would also like to remind all that active nomination period is running until September 15th, 2009. We are still looking for nominations in various categories, so don’t hesitate and nominate!!! Here is a picture of some of the DVTK taken during the Cactus Festival:
May 2009 We're excited about summer 2009! The Dundas Valley Tree Keepers with support from Environment Hamilton and community friends are happy to launch the Heritage Tree Hunt. From May 1 to September 15 we challenge you to find and nominate the greatest and most notable trees in the Dundas Valley region. Nominate a tree or group of trees that you treasure for its size, place in history, beauty, flower, form, fall colour, rarity, association with special memories, being a native tree or being a special spot to relax or play! Check out the Press Release for more information. The Dundas Valley is comprised of an amazing diversity of urban, rural and natural areas. Click Boundaries Map for the Heritage Tree Hunt map. Help us to identify important local trees in this area and to appreciate them as our community treasures! At the end of the Heritage Tree Hunt we will have our honourable judges pick the prize winning entry for each of the nomination categories and the best tree overall. We'll gather for a great celebration in October to present the winning trees and nominators. Check back later for details on the date and venue! *** Please note you will need to use Adobe Reader software to access the Boundaries Map and Press Release PDF documents.
