TREES FOR TODAY: Growing a Greener, Healthier, More Resilient Ottawa🌳🌳🌳

As Ottawa experiences hotter summers and more extreme weather, expanding urban tree cover is becoming increasingly important for public health, ecosystem conservation, and climate resilience...

What Residents Receive
1. A free native tree: 1–2 gallon sapling, approximately 2–4 feet tall, ready for planting on private property.

2. Guidance in choosing the right tree species

3. Learning resources and a planting demonstration to cover: species selection, planting best practices, and follow-up information on tree care at key moments

4. Access to optional hands-on planting and tree care support – tree recipients can sign up for hands-on help to ensure your tree thrives for years to come

5. Follow-up check-ins for long-term success – we’d love to stay connected and ensure the long-term success of your sapling. We plan to check in at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
