An overhead canopy soothes your eyes with welcome green shade. Your feet will relax on a cool, cushioned trail. Best of all, your body will feel refreshed by the air, because our Trail offers the cooling power of a million air conditioners. Surely no indoor sanctuary can offer all of these earthly delights. Yet the Oak Ridges Moraine can - thanks to our trees.
Trees are nature's air conditioners.
They muffle noise, offer scent, filter dust, extend shade, provide home for nature's musicians, and cool both air and ground. Evaporation of water through the leaves of one large tree creates the same cooling effect as ten, room-sized air conditioners. Come to the Trail this summer. Enjoy a walk through a leafy forest. Or simply relax under the shade of one of our air conditioners - maple, beech, oak, ash and more.
