Planting Programs

The City of Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa, Forêt Capital Forest, and other groups offer advice and resources to plant trees on private and public lands.

Choose your Own

The Ottawa Urban Tree Manual, drafted by the Glebe Community Association and CAFES, offers detailed descriptions of trees adapted to Ottawa, and tips on selection.

See too our hyper-local guide to planting trees in small places and Rockcliffe Park’s database of Ottawa Native Trees, Shrubs and Vines.
