Protecting Trees in Ottawa

Trees are vulnerable to a multitude of stressors such as drought, insects and disease. Tree Ottawa’s Adopt-a-Tree Program significantly improves a tree’s chance of survival thanks to residents like you who commit to basic tree care. By adopting a tree in your neighborhood, you can make sure it receives adequate after planting care, and help create a thriving and healthy urban tree canopy in our city for future generations to come.

Ecology Ottawa has identified a few different ways that you can help protect trees:

• Adopt a tree
• Add your tree on the Great Ecology Ottawa Tree Map
• Learn about the current threats to our Trees
• Learn how to properly care for trees
