OTTAWA -- Ecology Ottawa is seeing record demand for tree seedlings at its annual giveaways this year.
They are on track to giveaway a record 15,000 trees, which Ecology Ottawa says is the largest free tree giveaway in Ottawa’s history.
The program started in 2014 and partners with community organizations, including the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville, to raise awareness and distribute saplings grown by the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.
