Join our Tree Canopy Team!

Do you want a Centretown where you can stroll down shady streets? Interested in learning more about trees? Want to ensure trees are protected and more are planted to provide needed resiliency to climate change?

The CCA is looking for volunteers for a new project to protect and increase the tree canopy in Centretown. The new Tree Canopy Team will be carrying out a tree inventory throughout Centretown. This information will form the basis for developing a stewardship plan for trees on both public and private lands. The goal is to instill a greater appreciation for the aesthetic and health benefits trees provide, and to encourage Centretown residents to take greater pride in, and responsibility for, our neighbourhood trees. We will use the Neighbourwoods model already in use in communities in other cities and here in Ottawa. http://neighbourwoods.org

An initial organizing meeting is being held by ZOOM on Thursday, May 20 at 7 p.m. Please contact Darlene Pearson for more information and to get on the invitation list at treesandgreenspace-chair@centretowncitizens.ca
