Community Clean Up: Now through Oct 30th BurlingtonGreen’s free Community Clean Up is an eco-action opportunity for everyone in Burlington to get involved collecting litter from parks, creeks, schoolyards and neighbourhoods.

This year BurlingtonGreen aim to see over 12,000 people participate. Everyone in Burlington is invited to organize a clean up and register it with BurlingtonGreen so we can track, measure and share the impact we have achieved, together.

Free bags, gloves and tip sheets are available, and a handy map on the event webpage displays everyone’s litter clean up locations in Burlington.  There is also an opportunity to participate in a nationwide Butt Blitz to collect and recycle 1 million cigarette butts!

BurlingtonGreen’s Native Plant Sale open for online orders

Please come and join a friendly group of amateur gardeners interested in learning
more about all aspects of gardening.

Gardening for birds promotes the creation of nature-friendly
gardens, benefiting birds and other wildlife. While providing birds with food, water,
shelter and a place to raise their young, your garden will become more beautiful and
eco-friendlier.

David Wood has done birding all over Canada, USA, South Africa and Namibia. He has
been involved in nature all his life: worked on a farm and bird sanctuary “Happy
Ralphs” in St. Catharines; worked with the City of Burlington to manage coyote
danger as they are attracted to bird feeders; contributed to bringing the Trumpeter
swan back off the endangered birds list; and has been the owner of Wild Birds
Unlimited Burlington for 30 years.
