The Annual Oak Bay Tree Appreciation Day. Sunday November 4, 2018. A beautiful brisk sun filled day in Uplands Park. Councillor Hazel Braithwaite, Chris Hyde-Lay, [Manager Oak Bay Parks Services], and Margaret Lidkea [Chair of the Friends of Uplands Park], welcomed about 60 folks. Ron Carter, expert arbourist, took people on a walk to see some amazing Oak Bay trees. Wylie Thomas, who manages the Uplands Park restoration program, lead a tour of the work happening in Uplands Park. Margaret Lidkea, took a group to do more restoration work around the Willows School “GrandParent” Garry Oak, a 200 year old Garry Oak that has now been freed from invasive plants by the work of the students. Here are some of the photos taken in Uplands Park during Tree Appreciation Day. Photos by Kathleen Matthews who forgot her good camera so had to rely on her iPhone.
