Event details are below.
Forêt Capitale Forest is working hard on establishing new forests in Ottawa. Planting trees with a plan is our motto and we are focused on the early stages of tree establishment and growth.
Join us on October 16th for our first Tree Forum workshop centred on seed collection and starting your own trees. We have space for about 25-30 attendees.
We will hear from forestry specialists and learn the basics of tree seed collection through a hands-on workshop including a seed foray on the Just Food property (a former tree nursery).
