Dr. Erik Jorgensen, professor of forestry at the University of Toronto, stands under a gnarled oak tree at Avenue Rd. and St. Clair, an apartment high-rise in the background. New buildings are obliterating Toronto's sense of permanence and stability, he says, and the way to restore it is to cover the city with enduring trees.

Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres.
