Evergreen has partnered with the Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) for the Greening Corporate Grounds Program in the Peel Region. Greening Corporate Grounds provides corporations, businesses, institutions and places of worship an opportunity to contribute to environmentally positive actions and landscape benefits from some green attention. We are working with participants to create green spaces on their grounds, develop plans to maintain these natural reas, and to encourage sustainable practices in everyday operations in the organization.

Greening Corporate Grounds provides opportunities for corporate employees, their families, as well as neighbouring communities to participate in stewardship and planting events. Additional onsite educational opportunities are provided through workshops and seminars with the goal of becoming "Sustainable Corporate Ground Stewards."
