The City of Burlington's Honour Roll of Trees recognizes large, rare and historically significant trees.
We have recognized 110 trees since 1975. In 2011, the Ontario Heritage Tree Program recognized a white oak tree, estimated to be over 300 years old. This makes it one of the oldest and largest white oaks in Canada.
Volunteers from our Recreation Services, the Burlington Horticultural Society and the Royal Botanical Gardens manage the Honour Roll of Trees. They review new nominations and visit each nominated tree to record its growth, height and state of health.
