Forestry Services’ spring caliper tree planting program is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 4, and will run until mid-June, weather permitting. This includes tree planting in parks, at City facilities, and along streets through Forestry Services’ lifecycle tree planting programs as well as some projects for the Schoolyard Tree Planting Grant Program. A total of 51 trees will be planted throughout Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward including in Manor Park at the school, at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park and in Forbes Park. Where a tree planting is scheduled on City property adjacent to a residence, as part of the City's Trees in Trust Program, individual notifications will be provided to the resident in advance of planting. Residents should also expect to see, typically a few weeks prior to planting, utility locate flags and paint on the ground that should not be removed or mowed until planting has been completed.
