Eastern Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), with its beautiful white flowers, is an iconic Carolinian species. Unfortunately this small tree is under threat from an invasive disease called Dogwood Anthracnose, and is currently listed as Endangered in Ontario.

On June 12th, you can help TTLT monitor Eastern Flowering Dogwood at Sitler Woods. No experience is required and we will provide training on the monitoring protocol.

Please RSVP at the bottom of this page. 

What to bring

Come prepared for an outdoor, off-trail experience. TTLT will provide all necessary equipment.

• Rubber boots or good hiking boots and long pants (no shorts!) are a must. Long sleeves are recommended as you might be walking through shrubs. This event will take place rain or shine so come dressed for the weather. 
• Bring your lunch and plenty of water and snacks.
• Bring your field guides, binoculars, and camera, if you have them. Sitler Woods is a beautiful spot for birding and botany.
