Tonight at 6 PM will be the second meeting of the Tree Team, and so much has happened since the first one!
Last time we went over (briefly) Tree Ottawa's annual report and discussed the initiative's successes as well as challenges. The group had some great idea's for how we could organize and dovetail off of existing events (such as the Great Glebe Green Garage Sale). We also got to discuss what each attendee was doing/interested in doing for Tree Ottawa and manage all of our expectations concerning time and time management.
The agenda for our next meeting will be similar to the last. Tree Ottawa will go over Ecology Ottawa's volunteer structure and how it relates to our initiaitive. We will discuss what has been happening in the initiative this past month, with time to hear what the Tree Team has done and where we can find synergies.
All are welcome to attend! Please RSVP by clicking here. See you soon!
