Evergreen is a not-for-profit organization that makes cities more livable.

Problema

Urban dwellers have become increasingly disconnected from nature and cities are often nearly entirely devoid of green spaces, Evergreen envisions a sustainable society where individuals live in harmony with and contribute meaningfully to their local environment. Evergreen will be at the forefront of the movement to create this society, by empowering communities, by creating innovative resources and by transforming educational values.

Solução

Since 1991, Evergreen has worked to bring nature back to our cities and towns with funding, plant resources and nurseries, expert advice and organizing capacity. We have helped fund: over 3,000 School Ground Greening Projects over 2,000 Community Greening Projects in parks and public spaces By deepening the connection between people and nature, and empowering Canadians to take a hands-on approach to their urban environments, Evergreen is improving the health of our cities—now and for the future.

Exemplo

We are a leading national funder and facilitator of local, sustainable greening projects in schoolyards, parks and communities across Canada.
