Looking to beautify your home or neighourhood? The City of Ottawa has a Trees, Reforestation and Environmental Enhancement (TREE) Program a tree planting program that you can take advantage of. Started in 2007, the City hopes to plant 100,000 trees by 2010.
To reach the City’s goal, Ottawa residents are eligible to register for a tree to plant on their property, which will be delivered right to your door at no cost. As this is the last year of the TREE program, residents may be eligible to receive a second tree if they already received one in the past. Trees come delivered in a pot, with instructions, compost and mulch. See this link to find out what kinds of tree species are available.
The City of Ottawa is looking to recruit volunteers for this program. Volunteers can plant trees, find a location for a tree, learn about the Grant opportunities or take part in the National Challenge. Individual volunteers are welcome, as are groups such as communities, schools, businesses or churches.
Why not help out a good cause and join forces to make the environment a better place? Registration can be completed online or you can also call 3-1-1. Help exceed the City of Ottawa’s expectations and become a TREE volunteer. To register online please visit the following site: http://www.ottawa.ca/survey/tree/delivery_en.html.
