A goal of Forêt Capitale Forest is to open our current afforestation projects to the public to gain awareness and grow local accessibility to nature. To meet this goal we are building a walking path through our Base of Operations which is home to the Red Barn Community Food Forest and the 8 demonstration plots of our Big Plans for Small Forest project that has been generously supported by Reactine through Tree Canada’s Treemendous Communities program, the Josette Robertson and Joan Johnston Family Foundation, and the City of Ottawa. We have hosted 14 tours to various community groups and organizations in 2022 including groups from Root In Nature programs and the Blackburn Hamlet Community Association and will host more in 2023. 

We love to tour our projects so please reach out to us if you or a community group/organization that you represent is interested in taking part in a tour. We are also developing a virtual walking tour for those who cannot meet us at our Base of Operations. If you can please donate to support the maintenance and growth of the projects at our base of operations. These projects are the backbone of our tours!
