Tour the Trees of Fergus & Elora
If you are curious to learn more
about the history, biology and folklore of some of our community’s
celebrated trees, you will be interested to hear that Neighbourwoods has
produced an online
interactive tool that you can access on your laptop, desktop and
mobile phone.
This new hands-on Story Map was inspired by
lastyear’s Tour the Trees event, where cyclist Rick Goodfellow lead local
peddlersaround the community to learn about notable trees and sites. Now,
regardless ofwhether you are cycling, walking, or simply sitting in your own
home, you can experiencethe tour for yourself, fit with stories, pictures,
and video content about eachtree.
From mid-Julyuntil late
August, all the trees on the map will be identified by a laminatedsign with a
QR code. Those with the QRapp on their phone will be one quick scan
away from accessing everything youneed to know about each
tree.
Neighbourwoods isgrateful to Greg Wolowich, GIS
Planning Coordinator for the Township for histech support and to the Township
for their funding under the Community ImpactGrant program.
