Ask the city to plant a tree on the street edge of your property
Did you know you can call the city (613 546-0000) and ask to speak to someone in the parks and forestry section about getting a tree planted on the city-owned section of your property?
A forest technician will come and assess the space, what is already there, and let you know what kind of tree could be planted. All at no extra cost to you (included in our tax bills of course).
Have you noticed the new appearance of an eastern redbud and maple tree planted on Elmwood (see photo)? Lori Richards and Andrew MacLachan called the city to take down a dying blue spruce. When they requested two city trees in replacement, they were delighted to get a βyesβ.
