TREE Program
100,000 trees planted!
Thank you for helping us to reach our goal!
The Trees, Reforestation and Environmental Enhancement (TREE) Program was a four year initiative aimed to enhance the City of Ottawa’s urban and rural forests through the planting of 100,000 trees between 2007 and 2010. The TREE Program empowered Ottawa residents, businesses, community groups and schools to participate in planting trees to enhance and maintain the city’s forest cover and combat climate change.
There are a number of ways you can still take part in the TREE Program:
- Plant your own tree! Green your own corner of the city by receiving a tree to plant on your own property.
- Suggest a location to plant a tree. Help enhance our city parks, facilities and streets by working with us to find appropriate locations for trees within your community in rural or urban Ottawa.
- Learn about the Community TREE Planting Grant Program, which aims to improve and enhance Ottawa’s existing urban and rural forest cover by creating partnerships with the community for tree planting initiatives.
- Become a Forestry Services volunteer!
