We would like to extend a big thank you to Tim Leah and the rest of the Old Ottawa South Community Association for featuring the Tree Ottawa campaign in this month's edition of the Ottawa South Community Association Review (OSCAR). The article discusses the importance of our trees, threats they face, and actions residents can take to ensure the health of our neighbourhood trees for generations to come.
If you live outside Old Ottawa South (or don't have your print edition of the OSCAR handy) you can read the article online by clicking here! (Page 25)
