Beginner Tree Identification Workshop in Toronto’s High Park Details
Learn how to identify common trees in High Park in this beginner-friendly workshop. Focusing on 20 of the park’s most common species, you’ll learn to recognize key features such as leaves, bark, and seeds to use a dichotomous key to identify new-to-you species. The workshop combines classroom-style instruction with a guided walk through the park, giving you the chance to practice your new skills and see these trees in their natural setting.

A number of changes were made to the travel network within High Park as part of the High Park Movement Strategy that might influence your decision to drive to High Park. In case you’re driving we strongly recommend you to park your car at the public parking lot near Grenadier Cafe.
We continue to recommend using the TTC or biking as the best way to get to High Park and the Nature Centre. The Nature Centre is situated just a 5-minute walk from the High Park Subway Station. In case you were biking, there are bike racks available in front of the Nature Centre.
Please note, High Park is closed to cars on the weekends. If your event is on a weekend, you will need to park outside the park and walk in, or take transit.
