w:st="on">Thunder Bay</st1:City></st1:place>, I have in the past used the
Alberta Tree Species Rating Guide (2003) for lack of a better option.
Although it’s a very good guide and the ratings seem to fit with our
urban forest here, I’m not sure that it’s specific enough.
Are there other rating guides out there for different regions of <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region>, particularly <st1:State w:st="on">Ontario</st1:State>
and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Manitoba</st1:State></st1:place>?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
