The Dundas Valley Tree Keepers (DVTK) are a group of community volunteers who are passionate about the trees in the Dundas Valley, an area endowed with a large number and variety of trees in urban, rural and natural settings.  Go to About Us to find out more about the DVTK, including a meeting schedule for 2012. 

 

New members are always welcome!  The group meets the first Wednesday of each month.  For more information please contact DVTK.

 

Our general purpose is to provide public information and awareness about trees in our community. The group meets monthly and we present various events in Dundas. To find out more about what we've been up to go to Events.The DVTK held a Heritage Tree Hunt in 2009.  Go to Heritage Tree Hunt for details and results.

 

The group formed after the completion of the first Dundas Trees Count in fall 2007. Go to Trees Counts for more about the Dundas tree inventories.
