Urban tree canopy distribution often mirrors socio-economic inequalities, with neighbourhoods with lower canopy coverage typically home to equity-deserving communities. To support equitable access to the urban forest canopy, the City of Ottawa will conduct a tree equity analysis and use its findings to prioritize tree planting under the City’s Tree Planting Strategy. In this webinar, Martha Copestake and Zoe Bedford from the City of Ottawa will discuss Ottawa’s approach to addressing tree inequity.
