HIDDEN HARVEST OTTAWA

We support volunteer Neighbourhood Leaders to organize the harvest of fruits and nuts that would otherwise go to waste on public and private property. Tree owners can register their trees for harvesting, and volunteers can register to join harvest events, through our website. As a charitable project with insurance for our operations, we provide the opportunity for people to access the edible fruit and nut trees that surround them... The practice of gleaning simultaneously improves food security and reduces food waste. As Ottawa grows many fruits and nuts that are edible, healthy, and delicious, we believe that embracing the fruitful trees in Ottawa is an important part of taking good care of our city.
