On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we invite you to take time to remember and honour the Survivors of Indian residential schools, their families and communities.

The Birch Path Healing Forest is located on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin peoples, at the Just Food Community Farm. It’s a dedicated space for healing, learning, sharing, and reflecting about Canada’s history and the legacy of Indian residential schools. Native plants such as birch have long sustained Anishinaabe Nations as food, as medicine, and as teachers. Walking among them reminds us that reconciliation is rooted in care and respect for all beings.

Amazing growth at our Esson Tiny Forest which was designated as free to grow this summer!😍

This rapid growth is by design in the Miyawaki method that we use in all of our Tiny Forests! By amending the soil before planting we give the plants all the nutrients they need to grow right from the start. In addition, by planting everything close together, we created natural competition for light which forces trees to grow vertically more quickly. 📈

This Tiny Forest will now be left to continue to mature into a high functioning forest with a distinct canopy, understory and shrub layer!💚

We’re so excited to be a part of this project! 🌲

Are you the type of person who is always up for a challenge? We’re searching for intrepid volunteers who are interested in helping us plant 1,500 trees as part of a large afforestation project in the Mer Bleue sector. Thanks to the generous support of and the International Congress on Academic Medicine, this project will bring new life to a beautiful site that’s more remote and rugged than our typical urban planting locations. It’s the perfect opportunity for those with a bold and adventurous tree-planting spirit!

No experience is required! We’ll provide all the tools, training, and guidance you need. This is a family-friendly event, welcoming individuals, groups, and children of all ages.

Volunteer spots are limited to ensure a meaningful, hands-on experience, so we encourage early registration to secure your place. Registration is available through our events calendar (foretcapitaleforest.ca/events)

Last week, we were joined by many of our partners, directors and supporters at our annual general meeting to share some highlights from the past year including over 8000 trees planted from 150 species with the help of 2000 volunteers as well as give a sneak peak into what we have planned for 2026-27!🤫

The night was capped by a sunset tour of our base of operations and nursery to talk about our seed collection program and show off our lawn conversion guilds. It’s always nice to share ideas with like-minded people!🌱

Thank you to everyone who came out to our annual general meeting this past Thursday, it was fun to see so many familiar faces! We now look forward to seeing some of you for our busy fall planting season - starting with 6000 trees delivered this week!🌲🌳

Our love of Tiny Forests just keeps growing! - This time with a new addition out in North Gower 🌱

Forêt Capitale Forest along with Rural Woodlands Ottawa, Councillor David Brown - Ward 21 Brown and the North Gower Community came together to turn a piece of unused land into a beautiful new tiny forest! The area is now home to over 600 trees, shrubs and wildflowers which will help support local ecosystem diversity!🦋

A healthy forest starts from the ground up, which is why FCF always tests the soil before a tiny forest is planted. This allows us to add the proper nutrients to replicate a natural forest and give our plants the best shot at thriving!🌳

A special thank you to the Josette Robertson and Joan Johnston Family Foundation who continue to make this work possible, through our Tiny Forests Together program!
