What Do We Actually Do?

We work collaboratively with the Town of Perth to:

Increase the number and variety of trees and shrubs planted on both public and private properties.

Protect and maintain the health of existing trees guided by the principles of urban forestry.

Urban forestry is multidisciplinary and multifaceted, comprised of many actors in research, policy, practice, and community engagement. Urban forestry includes the development of citizen involvement and support for investments in long-term on-going tree planting, protection, and care programs.”

OPT volunteers bring the "citizen involvement" component.
