You’re on the map!

In the face of today’s environmental concerns—from polluted air and water to species loss and climate change—it would be understandable if people felt a little overwhelmed.

But this map showing Evergreen greening projects from across Canada tells a far more positive story. These community and school ground greening projects will have long-lasting positive effects on local neighbourhoods throughout the country, by offering community members countless ways to connect with nature.

Close to a million Canadian students have worked together to create greener school grounds through Evergreen's Learning Grounds program, and thousands more Evergreen volunteers have donated almost 500,000 hours toward community greening projects across the country.

Whether you're an individual volunteer, a local community group or a school group, your local movement is inspiring and you’re not alone.

Collectively, you are ensuring that all Canadians stay connected with nature, one green space at a time. Thank you!
