Growing Up & Growing Out in 2012
We are very proud to report that 2012 was another successful year for the Canadian TREE Fund.
W
e exceeded our goal of raising $50,000 and as a result
were able to support a wide range of research projects
and assist two aspiring students through our Harold Van
Dyke Bursary and Randy Lidkea Scholarship Programs.
This would not have been possible without the support of our many generous
donors. We would like to recognize and send out our sincere appreciation to
everyone who donated to the Canadian TREE Fund, from the platinum through
to the bronze levels. Please take a moment to read the lists of contributors
contained in this pamphlet.
The role of arboriculture is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the
urban environment, and with every dollar donated to the Canadian TREE Fund, we
strive to learn more about trees and innovative ways to provide the professional
care trees need to become healthy and live longer. This in turn benefits those who
practice arboriculture by improving their effectiveness and making their job safer.
We have a great board of trustees, who are all dedicated to our cause, and who
contribute their time and knowledge to our efforts. If you or someone you know
would be interested in joining our amazing team, please let us know by contacting
us directly or visiting our website at www.canadiantreefund.org.
Our goal at the TREE Fund is to escalate the evolution of the science of arboriculture
and raise awareness about the significant role trees play in sustaining and enhancing our environment. We do this by facilitating events that raise money and we use
that money to finance projects from some of the world’s best researchers through
our Jack Kimmel Grant Programs.
With the help of our many generous donors and the optimism that our accomplishment will inspire and encourage many new donors and event participants, we are
looking forward to another successful year in 2013. Adrian Pasma, CTF Trustee
The Canadian TREE Fund is proof that a small charity can achieve impressive results.
Over the past twelve months, we hosted a number of different events, starting with
the silent auction at ISAO’s February Conference and continuing with the Toronto
Island TREE Festival, the ISA Tour des Trees cycling event, the Harold Van Dyke Golf
Tournament, and finally the Goderich reTREEt project.
Why I donate to the TREE Fund...

ACER
“The phrase “pay it forward” accurately and concisely reflects my thoughts. I think it is important to give back so
that the industry’s future remains strong and continues to evolve. All arboricultural professionals have benefited
from the research and educational projects that are made possible via CTF grants and are made public at ISA
conferences, training and educational courses.” Mike Raaymaker, Guardian Tree Systems
