Protect the Greenbelt from devastating development. A letter to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson from the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS): "Dear Mayor Watson: CPAWS Ottawa Valley has long focused on the preservation of Ottawa and the surrounding area's ecological integrity, natural beauty and diverse species."

"It is as a CPAWS supporter that I learned of the proposed changes to the Greenbelt. As a resident of the National Capital Region, the Greenbelt is important to me. It provides jobs, fresh local food and countless recreation opportunities. More importantly, it provides critical habitat for plants and animals including many species at risk. Mer Bleue is the most biologically diverse area in Eastern Ontario, an internationally recognized RAMSAR site and living laboratory where scientists from across Canada and around the world come to learn about climate change, bogs and the species which depend on them. We are so fortunate to have such a resource within our city!"

The City tried to preserve trees during the year 2016. December 13, 2016-"The City's Planning Committee today approved a recommendation that would see a more consistent approach to identifying significant woodlands across Ottawa, in both rural and urban areas. Woodlands...vary in their level of significance based on features like size, ecological function and tree species..In urban areas, significant woodlands could include any woods 0.8 hectares or larger that is 40 years or older."
