Anthony Daniel is a biologist who has been working in the field of urban forestry for 25 years. Since 2005, he has been employed by the City of Montreal, where he has held various positions, including arboriculture inspector in two boroughs, research officer at the Jardin botanique and the Service de l’environnement, and, since 2009, planning advisor in the Division Forêt urbaine du Service des grands parcs, du Mont-Royal et des sports.

His current work involves developing strategies and implementing action plans to improve Montreal’s urban forest. He develops programs, policies, and regulations and contributes to awareness campaigns. He also establishes and coordinates partnerships with numerous internal and external partners.

Anthony actively participates in various events organized by the City’s partner organizations to support innovative initiatives and showcase the expertise developed by the City. One of his notable contributions to urban forestry is developing Montreal’s approach to mitigating the impacts of the emerald ash borer on its urban forest. Considered a success, Anthony is often invited to present this approach in Quebec, Ontario, and the United States.

Before working for the City of Montreal, Anthony was a phytoprotection consultant in Greater Montreal. One of his businesses, Arthropodia, won three prestigious awards during the 2002 edition of the Quebec Entrepreneurship Contest. He also co-authored a book published in 2005 on alternatives to pesticides for managing common garden pests.
