Hundredfold Note:

Discover the Yellow Birch: Canada’s Overlooked Forest Treasure

As an outdoorsman in Ontario, the Yellow Birch has long been a familiar companion—but never an ordinary one. Every encounter with this remarkable native tree still brings the same quiet thrill. No matter how many times I see a mature Yellow Birch rising from the forest floor, its presence fills me with the same childlike joy. Just as a child never tires of a favorite treat, I never tire of the sight of a Yellow Birch.

Despite its beauty and strength, Yellow Birch rarely appears in the nursery trade. In cities, you’ll find sugar maples, red oaks, or even their cousin, the paper birch, planted along the streets. But a Yellow Birch in an urban setting is truly rare. In all my years living in Toronto, I have yet to see one standing along a sidewalk. Every Yellow Birch I’ve encountered has been part of a wild stand—planted by nature itself.

With a natural lifespan that can easily exceed a century, each Yellow Birch grows into a tall, dignified presence in the Canadian landscape. Its golden bark, cool shade, and high canopy are a reminder of how deeply rooted this species is in our forests. Each time I look up into its shimmering branches, I feel humbled and grateful. And each time, I find myself wishing: may these wholesome native trees thrive for generations, so that others can admire them just as I do today.
