We also want to know if you've planted a new tree sapling, as this tree will be counted towards our goal of planting 1 million trees for Canada's 150th anniversary - 1 tree for each person in Ottawa!
You can add your tree to the Great Ecology Ottawa Tree Map, which allows you to upload a profile for your tree and track how and when you care for the tree. Tree care tips can be found here. You can also post a photo and short blurb about why this tree is beautiful and important to you in the comments section of our Trees-We-Cherish page. We encourage everyone to share their own tree care tips and experiences in the comments section as well - the more information, the better! Thank yew!
