It grew to become the nation&apos;s capital, with various trends in tree clearing and tree planting along the way. More recently, the area has faced damage from natural disaster and invasive pests, like the emerald ash borer, which threatens perhaps 30% of Ottawa&apos;s existing tree population.Although the display considers urban forestry from an Ottawa perspective, the challenge of combining trees with cities is universal.
