82% of Canadians are concerned that future generations won’t have close or easy access to nature.

The struggle for public spaces has never been more important. Without them, our cities are reduced to steel, pavement and smog, occupied by disconnected strangers — and who really wants to live in a city like that? But it doesn’t have to be this way.

At Evergreen, we’re transforming public spaces to bring grey cities to life. Would you be willing to join us?

“After a volunteer shift, I head back to the quarry to walk along the paths winding around the ponds. Back there, you can’t hear the traffic and looking around I’ve realize that nature was always in the city, but it takes organizations like Evergreen to remind us and to help make it better.”
– Al Yoshiki, Evergreen Volunteer
