Credit to William Sims for Ottawa trees and reforestation
Reader Dorothy Nichols misattributes Ottawa’s tree legacy to Kilmer's God. The true forest explainer was William Sims (1843-1936?), a freedman and bootlegger who planted about 15,000 trees over 36 years starting in 1875, making Ottawa a shade city.

A tree advisory board forms to replace microburst losses. a Sims-centered reforestation project could unite community pride and ownership. For more, contact Jane Richards, Franklin County archivist.
