Giving back to our community
Barrie was proud to donate a day of service to Matheson Creek Camp, a 70-acre natural and cultural heritage property in Midhurst. Our team helped clear trees that were limiting sunlight to the camp’s solar panels, improving access to renewable energy while supporting the care of this special property. We’re grateful for opportunities to give back and support organizations that connect our community with nature.

Identifying hazardous tree conditions
When there is a hanging branch or crack in a tree, it’s easy to see that a problem exists. Other issues may be more difficult to detect.
Simple solutions can make a big difference. Pruning can lessen branch weight and wind resistance. Cables and brace rods can also be effective in helping to limit branch movement and protect trees.

Important advice for autumn
Fertilization is the single most important proactive measure you can take in caring for your trees this season. Soil care and fertilization in autumn dramatically improve growing conditions and provide the nutrients required for vital tree root development.

This includes wilting or loss of leaves/needles, yellowing of leaves or browning of needles, premature autumn color, early leaf drop and sappy spots on branches.

Summer tree threats
Summer is a time of high activity for pests as well as tree diseases caused by fungi and other organisms. Some problems may be simply aesthetic, while others can be a real threat to tree health and vitality. As such, it is important to have an arborist check your trees to determine the underlying cause.
