Opportunities in your area: Oakvillegreen

Oakvillegreen (OCA) is a non-profit environmental organization striving to make Oakville a living city with enhanced natural diversity, stronger connections between natural areas and healthier green spaces. Their aim is to reconnect people to the natural environment in their neighborhood and across their community to increase their awareness of the importance of nature and move them to action to protect, enhance and restore Oakville’s natural environment.

Through education and awareness campaigns, they look to promote sustainable living and urban forest stewardship. By training and guiding residents to undertake environmental action-driven activities, including planting and caring for trees, building rain gardens and removing invasive species, we are improving the quality of life of Oakville residents while enhancing urban ecosystems. Offering a variety of programs on three main areas: Advocacy, Education and Stewardship. Click the link below to take a look at education programs!
