The health of Canada's cities depends on our ability to sustain green spaces that provide a natural refuge for our minds and bodies within the reality of on-going urban development.

We can create and protect green space in Canada's urban municipalities–while guaranteeing quality of life and economic health. We can turn vacant lots into community gardens, naturalize open spaces, create habitat, and protect interior and perimeter urban greenbelts.

Many municipalities and community groups are exploring how they can come together to protect and restore urban and suburban green spaces.

Evergreen's team of ecologists, environmental educators, urban planners, social workers, community animators and food gardening specialists has a proven ability to conserve, regenerate and sustain nature in urban environments.
