Let your clients in the Ottawa area know about this free event to get tips for inspecting trees, meet local experts and ask questions about tree health.
August is Tree Check Month—a perfect time to start a habit that lasts all year. By regularly checking the trees in your yard, neighbourhood, and local parks, you can help catch signs of trouble early and protect the green spaces we all rely on. Threats to our green spaces are out there, but with a quick check you can help keep trees healthy and strong. Trees provide shade, clean our air, support wildlife, and make our communities more vibrant. Check today to protect Canada tomorrow!
It only takes a few minutes to look for signs of trouble like tiny holes in the bark, sawdust at the base, dead branches, or leaves dropping too soon. Checking your trees regularly helps catch problems early and makes a big difference in protecting the places you love.
