German forester Peter Wohlleben has been watching, listening to, and working with forest trees all of his life. He has developed a keen understanding of these magnificent living wonders, and has found them not only fascinating as a group, but each separate tree has revealed it self to have a unique, and individual way of interacting with it's environment. Peter understands that resorting to anthropomorphism when talking about trees risks his scientific credibility - but as he shows in his book,

The First Report on the GTA's Forest Canopy Delivered at the Grey to Green Conference 2016

Posted Jun 6th, 2016 in Announcements, Research, Calendar

The value of the Grey Infrastructure (roads, bridges, highways) in our urban spaces gets a lot of press. The Green Infrastructure has been completely undervalued and is typically unseen. There is tons of data about the state (and current value) of roads and and other parts of the publicly-owned grid that keeps us moving - but - until now, we've had no data about the assets that 'keep us breathing' as we go about our busy lives. This groundbreaking report lays it all out, and puts a real value to

Posted Apr 7th, 2016 in Announcements, Milestones, Research

I just looked it up - I registered the Domain Name 'rootrescue.com' in 2005 - it's taken a while to get to opening day, but here we are at last.

Posted Jan 12th, 2016 in Announcements, Milestones, Calendar

Well, we got the green light from the CFIA on December 9th, after a 6-1/2-year wait, our New Product Registration finally came down the wire. And since then we've been hustling to get our packaging designs finalized and hit the ground running. The LO Congress came on so fast that we were unable and (truthfully) unequipped to get a booth ready for the show - so we did the next best thing - we turned to our friends and asked for help.
