Creating Healthy Habitats

BurlingtonGreen hosts clean ups, green ups (habitat restoration events) and we partner with various groups and organizations, to protect an restore and improve local habitat, strengthening biodiversity.

Learn about our Clean Up Green Up and how you can get involved!

Consider helping out at another community event or plan your own event:

WWF Canada’s Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup (March through November).
Help out the Field and Stream Rescue Team with cleanups and the occasional planting (spring and fall).
Help out with the RBG invasive species pulls each fall (mid-October to mid-November).
Organize your own Clean Up or Green Up anytime of the year!

Healthy Habitat Resources/Organizations:

As stewards of the earth, we have the responsibility to honour and respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.We honour all the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who have been living on the land since time immemorial and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth.

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, represented by Treaty 14 and 19 and on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-in-nah-beg), Attawandaron (At-tah-wahn-da-ron), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-oh-sho-nee) and Metis peoples.We honour these rightful caretakers of this sacred land surrounding the Great Lakes, and we are grateful for their teachings.

BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
