Take a tour.

SOS Trees Coalition
THE SASKATOON TREE TOUR

In 2025 SOS Trees published an updated and expanded edition of the Saskatoon Tree Tour, a guide of impressive individual specimens of a wide variety of tree species growing in our city. You may recognize some trees and species from our previous publication. However we have added a number of new tree species and many new tree locations. We have also expanded information on proper tree planting and care, native species of trees and understory plants, and the serious ongoing threats to trees, especially Dutch Elm Disease which is fatal to the American Elm, and which showed a large increase here in 2024.

The booklet features 27 tree species which are numbered and correspond with the green dots on the map. We have included trees from various neighbourhoods throughout Saskatoon and added alternate locations for the majority of the trees. Alternate locations are indicated with dark red dots.

Six Saskatoon "tree destination sites" are also included. These sites feature a spectacular number of tree species and are well worth taking the time for a dedicated visit.

We hope this tour will inspire you to appreciate and learn more about the trees in Saskatoon's urban forest and provide ideas for new trees to try in your yard.
