"We grow native plants and
create boulevard gardens."
Why Do We Care?
Many of Ontario's 400 native pollinator species have a very short foraging range - sometimes less than 600 meters. In urban areas, their natural meadow habitats are rapidly disappearing, leaving local populations trapped in scattered habitat fragments, in isolation from one another. Eventually, these species will weaken and die.
How Can We Help?
We connect neighbourhoods to nature, providing a network of native habitat gardens and opportunities for inclusive community engagement, education, and collaboration.

Pollinator
Conservation
Steps we are taking which provide food and habitat connections for pollinators to aid in their conservation:
​
• Increase the number of nectar- and pollen-rich flowers native to the area.
​
• Plant a variety of native species to provide food and habitat throughout the year.
​
• Create native habitat corridors to enable pollinator movement, promoting genetic resilience and
species diversity.
​
• Replace high maintenance turf grass along boulevards
with low maintenance native boulevard gardens.
​
• Beautify streetscapes meaningfully.
​
• Connect neighbourhoods to nature.
