Do you have mature trees and established gardens you want to safeguard from extreme weather events?
HERITAGE OTTAWA WILL HELP YOU DO THE GROUNDWORK!
Extreme weather events are a climate change reality that we will all be facing with increasing regularity. Find out what you can do yourself to mitigate damage, and when professional advice is needed to understand and prepare your property.
Join City of Ottawa Climate Change and Resiliency Services expert Connor Renouf and arborist Ian Laidlaw for this 2-hour online workshop that will cover a range of topics related to how weather impacts the outside of your home, including:
- Design and management of rainwater flow
- What rain gardens and permeable pavements are all about
- Prudent care of trees and shrubs using prep & support systems
Participants are encouraged to bring specific questions pertaining to issues they may be experiencing in their own yards and gardens.
