Beaverbrook Tree Inventory Course
Do you love Beaverbrook's trees and are interested in their well-being? Consider volunteering with NeighbourWoods in Beaverbrook, a community forest stewardship project.
Join the Beaverbrook two-day tree inventory training session on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4, 2023, 9 AM to 4 PM (both days), organized by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA).
Developed by University of Toronto Forestry professors, the NeighbourWoods© training is for anyone interested in Beaverbrook’s valuable natural resource: our trees. You will learn how to identify tree species and assess a tree’s health and condition. After the course, you will join a team of volunteers to inventory trees on Beaverbrook Streets.

Do you love Beaverbrook's trees and are interested in their well-being? Do you have trees on your property or in the neighbourhood you are concerned about?
Since 2017, the KBCA has been sponsoring the ‘NeighbourWoods in Beaverbrook’ project, more commonly known as the Tree Inventory. The project aims to foster community stewardship of the trees in Beaverbrook through education by:
- Enhancing the tree canopy by identifying areas where new trees could be planted,
- Maintaining the canopy by identifying trees in need of attention.
Every summer, Beaverbrook volunteers are out in the community to engage with homeowners and talk about trees.

150 & 180 Kanata Avenue - Developments backing on to Bill Teron Park
- Details
Two developers are applying to develop 150 and 180 Kanata Avenue. These are important projects for Kanata North as their backyard is the Bill Teron Park (formerly Kanata Central Park)
These are located on the west verge of Kanata Avenue, which will remove some of the trees (which will be replaced) and be located below the escarpment which is part of the Bill Teron Park. The locations of these developments have been planned for some time, appearing in the original plan for a new Kanata Town Centre prior to the City of Ottawa amalgamation.
There will be back to back Zoom presentations on Monday, Mar 7 at 7 PM (180 Kanata Ave) [Zoom link] and 8:30 PM (150 Kanata Ave) [Zoom link]
For more understanding of the vision/plan for Bill Teron Park and how these buildings fit in see:
