Episode Three: Silver Maple Tale
This week’s story is our first to feature a plant: the silver maple! Silver maples have special leaves—they’re green on the top, and silvery grey on the bottom. When the wind blows, the leaves flash and seem almost to sparkle.

If you live in Montreal, click the image to find an interactive map of every tree located on public land (put together by Québio, an organization concerned with biodiversity in Québed.) If you live elsewhere, check to see if you have access to a resource like this! It’s a great way to get to know your local trees.
