渥太华有900,000棵树没有实现其目标,发展和规划不善威胁到城市绿色空间。 Ottawa is 900,000 trees short of its goal, with development and poor planning threatening urban green spaces.

渥太华有90万棵树没有达到100万个目标, 许多街区低于40%的树冠目标。 Ottawa is 900,000 trees short of its one million goal, with many neighborhoods below the 40% tree canopy target. 尽管新的分区条例将部分区域前院退界缩短至4.5米，但倡导者认为该条例仍不足以满足成熟树木生长所需的6米退界。 Despite a new zoning bylaw increasing front-yard setbacks to 4.5 meters in some areas, advocates say it falls short of the 6-meter setback needed for mature trees to thrive. 房地产开发、有限的土壤、盐的暴露和有限的空间阻碍了树木的生存。 Real estate development, limited soil, salt exposure, and restricted space hinder tree survival. 环保团体警告这些变化不会抑制城市热岛或保护像麦卡锡森林这样的绿色走廊, Environmental groups warn the changes won’t curb urban heat islands or protect green corridors like McCarthy Woods, urging stronger policies for long-term climate resilience.
