It celebrates 125 rare and familiar tree species and features over 800 stunning colour and archival photographs. The text and accompanying maps guide visitors along eight different exploratory walks. Selected trees are profiled through a close-up view of their shape, leaves, flowers, bark, and fruit, accompanied by a discussion of their growing conditions and native habitats.

The authors of Pathways to the Trees at the Central Experimental Farm are forestry specialists Eric Jones and Roman Popadiouk and photographer and writer Richard Hinchcliff. The Farm has been called “the lungs of the city,” and research has revealed its importance in mitigating air pollution and moderating temperatures. The climate crisis and the pressures of urban development make appreciation of the Farm’s trees all the more vital.
