Protecting and restoring Ottawa's natural environment.
Healthy ecosystems make healthier communities. Trees, wetlands, greenspaces, and pollinator habitats improve air quality, reduce flooding, support biodiversity, and help our city adapt to climate change.
Our Nature program works to protect the places we love while expanding opportunities for nature to flourish throughout Ottawa.
Our work includes
- Growing Ottawa's tree canopy
- Protecting greenspaces
- Supporting pollinators and biodiversity
- Urban forests and green infrastructure
- Wildlife protection
- Community planting and stewardship projects
By working alongside residents, community groups, and decision-makers, we're helping create a greener city where nature can thrive alongside growing neighbourhoods.
